jdoldridge Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Anybody know what time it will be available to download from technet? We've only got server 2012 available as RC at the moment, W8 is still in release preview?
k-strider Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 my guess about 2-3pm BST from memory of win 7...
gshaw Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 That'll be around the same time the site crashes under the demand then
k-strider Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 yup we have to wait for the americans to wake up
jdoldridge Posted August 15, 2012 Author Posted August 15, 2012 Ive got an auto-refresh on technet downloads haha... still no sign yet then
Trapper Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 Well I've just had Virgin round and my internet is now purring along at 60meg. Shouldn't take long to download! Seriously good offer free superhub, free installation, 60meg internet, phone, mobile, full TV package with a 1TB TiVo in the lounge and a HD box plugged into my monitor in the office all for just under £60pcm. I was paying that just for Sky in the living room!

ZeroHour Posted August 15, 2012 Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Anyone else have the UK language pack installed? To check you need to go in to control panel language then open English, it should say if a pack for the os. Mine says none available but I think I didn't download gb iso. Edit: Never mind found the language pack iso and added it in. Edited August 16, 2012 by ZeroHour
bladedanny Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Anyone know what time it will be available to customers with software assurance? It's supposed to be sometime today I think.
