Leap Day is going to be a big day for fans of Windows 8, and not just because of the possibility of upcoming promos from Pluralsight that might just include some great free stuff (stay tuned!). Tomorrow February 29th, Microsoft will be launching the Windows 8 Consumer Preview at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. After the launch, consumers all over the world will be able to download a beta version of Windows 8 for their own testing, development, ridicule, etc.
But are the beta bits really ready for prime-time? Do you trust the Consumer Preview enough to install it on your primary PC? Or are you going to relegate it to your brother’s old laptop that is still missing the “K” key? Let us know what you think in the poll below and of course feel free to hit us up in the comments are.
I think you guys forgot the VM option!
Yeah, I run mine as a second boot from a virtual disk (Thanks Scott Hanselman)
Me too, and again it’s largely thanks to Scott Hanselman. He’s so cool!
If Windows 8 comes with tiles, then I’ll run it on the touchscreen PC in my bathroom.
So many questions running around my head about why you have a touchscreen PC in your bathroom, but I think they should probably go unasked!
VM but yes I am going to take a look at it.
I have a very nice computer with a two-point touch screen. I think touch screen is important when trying out Windows 8.
