Do make sure you read the fine print before installing, though: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2012/08/16/microsoft-win8-trial/1
At the very least, shouldn't there be an apostrophe - or is it that the downlload takes a long time to complete? Is there a massive difference between the enterprise & home editions?
Not really, no. Just think of the Enterprise version as "more". All the stuff that's shared between versions behaves identically.
I'll try it on one of my older quad core systems with 8gigs of ram, but from what I hear it is a disaster.
I can't download this version atm but I'm growing to like the preview, apart from a few niggles which I put down to being beta.
can you please remove that as that's totally wrong. It'll have exactly the same performance as any other Windows 8 build in regards to DirectX. The only thing that differs is it has additional group policy objects and supports direct access vpn / branch cache etc (similar to the Windows 7 Enterprise version) - The stuff found in Windows 8 Pro is *identical* to that found in Win 8 enterprise...
Yes, why wouldn't it? Microsoft have removed the deprecated start bar from Windows 8, why would the have a branch of the Windows 8 kernel that didn't use the new user interface? This isn't Linux, it's unified.
I have to agree the not as good for gaming part (the whole paragraph is completely incorrect and it should be removed)
Agreed, it's a ridiculously inaccurate statement to see in an article supposedly written by a professional.
