Windows 8 Consumer Preview (or Beta version, as we know it) is finally here. Earlier, Microsoft released the Developer Preview Edition of Windows 8 which was available to download publicly. This time they have fixed thousands of issues and release the new edition which surely has a lot less bugs.
Before downloading the new release, keep this in mind that this is still a beta version that might have some issues or bugs. Your system will work fine but some applications might create conflicts or won’t support normal execution at all.
