If MS actually does release a consumer preview sometime this year, I will definitely give it a try.

You'd just download it right from Microsoft. It was free to everyone with Windows 8.0. They didn't limit it to just certain people.Chuck38, post: 34646, member: 290 said:

Maybe "consumer preview" isn't exactly the right word for it, but what I'm talking about is the free trial, like MS had for both Windows 7 and 8, which I downloaded from their site. Hope this clears things up.Chuck38, post: 34646, member: 290 said:

The consumer preview is a free trial? It may not be the final version but its trial software. It will eventually time bomb and stop working. The only official trial I know of for Windows 8 is the 90 day enterprise trial. 8 Core and 8 Pro will not install without entering a product code. Not without modifying the install media.LittleJay, post: 34658, member: 114 said:

With Vista and 7 the preview versions had a preset date that one could continue to use the software without any issues which was usually until after the RTM however after that date Windows would start shutting down after a preset period of time. I had the preview or release candidates for Vista, 7, and 8 so I'll probably install the one for 9 or whatever they decide to call it. The 90 day trials are for the final paid version or RTM.alphanumeric, post: 34684, member: 152 said:

MoreWindows 9 is most likely the hottest project currently prepared by Microsoft at this point and even though the company says absolutely nothing about it, we still have quite a lot of details about the operating system that's expected to revamp Redmond's modern platform.
Now a new report published by The Verge and citing unnamed sources that preferred to remain anonymous for obvious reasons is revealing that Microsoft is planning to launch a Windows 9 preview version sometime this year, thus trying to give users the chance to try out the upcoming operating systembefore the public launch.
