Windows 8 Metro Tutorial in RTM

Aug 2, 2012·Dustin

Windows 8 hit RTM yesterday, and some folks are already getting their hands on it. Darren Baker has installed it on a Samsung Slate and took a lot of screenshots, including the new Metro tutorial after the install.

Then, about 5:30PM PST, I received an email: “Come to the Microsoft Campus, get Windows 8 RTM”. I arrived there just in time, and we made our USB keys. I was warned that it would take some time, as all the other Microsoft employees would also be trying to download RTM from the MS internal servers. I made 2 keys (you have to plan for redundancy) and proceeded to install it on my Samsung Build Slate.
