Techwoo - Whilst surfing along the information superhighway today, I ran across something labeled as, “Microsoft Windows 8 Professional Edition (Leaked Version).” Well, curiosity certainly got the better of me, so I clicked to have a look.
Now, while that absolutely looks horrible and would fail to fool any of the enthusiasts in this community, it’s certainly going to attract some downloaders… and as such, it did. Luckily, for you curious lot, a number of people who downloaded the ISO from the site noted it’s nothing but Windows Vista with some additional applications, a theme pack, and some changes to make it say Windows 8 instead of Windows Vista in certain places. Long story short, don’t be fooled by things like this going around. Though it would be nice, Windows 8 is far from falling into the hands of the enthusiast community at this point.
