You probably installed the BETA or RC not the RTM.

It does make me laugh everytime Microsoft come out with something new how many leaks there are, and how many ex MS emplyee's have leaked stuff.

Yeah it made me laugh too...
But I'll wait for the release Date... And after the product launched, people prefer to use Piracy... Strange but its true..

Perhaps some people do, these are mostly people who were dropped on their head as a baby, watched a SAW movie aged three years old or are suffering shell shock after some fierce combat at Gallipolli.

I always wait for official MS releases, the early releases and betas are often worse than the version they're trying to improve.

Only exception I'll make to Betas are video drivers, they are sometimes good. Well, the Nvidia ones are anyway
