Windows 8: Get it Now!

I found out from a classmate of mine that you can download a version of Windows 8 now. (It's legit, from the Windows Website.)

I'm currently downloading, I'll tell you more about it once I'm done downloading it.

I have used Windows 8 a few times since they released the Developers Release (I think that was what it was called?).

It isn't bad, but they seem to be removing the whole "desktop" experience and moving towards tablets.

@Bimps: As D55 said, I said it was from the Windows Website.

@Bass: They've made improvements since Developer's, it's now the Consumer's release.

(Using other computer because this is taking forever to install...)

EDIT: Hm. I was going to upload a pic, but I can't seem to find an MS Paint style app. I don't know what else to use where I can just paste it.

Well, it's legit because it's just a preview. The thing with the desktop: I heard you can access it soehow from the "Metro"-Desktop...

What's the rush? You can download just a preview of Windows 8, like a beta version which will be finished in october, so there is a lot of stuff to be added to new version.
