Page and ISO still say "Consumer Preview" for me. Not happy about this.

With all these pages appearing and disappearing and re-linking to the Beta, I think it was more of a case of someone pushing out pages a little too early.

No it's not. Your post leads to a "Page Cannot Be Found"

Sorry, I realized my mistake and deleted my post and reposted it with the correct link (I was on a slow RDP connection at the time so I didn't want to take time to edit it before others saw it). Sorry :?

Where do you want to go today?

Favourite OS
All Microsoft operating systems!
I'll definitely download this and test it, just as I've already done with all of the other Windows 8 builds that are available (from Build 7850 onwards).

By the way, what has changed since the Consumer Preview build (Build 8250)?

An elegant OS. Works great!
The OOBE allows for further customization of the colour of the Metro UI, with about 32 colours last time I checked.
