There Are So much rumors about Windows 8 and as an MVP I can’t say any thing that is told under NDA. But I can review the leaked version a bit. And Is this leaked version Leaked or is it a preview to see what the community thinks. I think it is just windows 7 with some extra options. a nice background that tell’s me not to leak Well I saw this on the web.
Most of the post are telling me you can run hyper-v Well Yes or no the stuff is there and you can re-use the options in win7 today (x64) only
How ? yes how, I’m not telling it in detail and I don’t want to wreck your #win7 so here are some screen shots of the Hyper-v MMC prerelease
You can run this in windows 2008R2 goto the WinSXS folder and find your stuff.
But what else is new. Well a hidden Webcam option is there With MP4 options ?

So there are some change’s in the gui and a few options extra, I like the user option
But be carefull with the leaked versions It is not from a trusted source and can contain viruses or mallware !
The public beta Will be different than the leaked version is my guess , the installation is fast but that is also with Win7 , installation time is under the 15 min. that is good. For now I only have a new Wallpaper and waiting to get the public or MVP beta to test it for real
