What Time Then?

[jdoldridge]

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]

my guess about 2-3pm BST from memory of win 7...

[gshaw]

That'll be around the same time the site crashes under the demand then

[jdoldridge]

Great just before I go home then

[k-strider]

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!

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.
