Windows 8 Consumer Preview CD-ROM media

Originally participated in the previous few days, as the 7th, gathered Microsoft's theme activities, after the meeting got a rare CD media Windows 8 The consumer preview version, at that time is also considered to be our luck, the host said that it was just brought fresh from the express channel. The retail version of Peacetime is still a somewhat different consumer preview, and today finally has the opportunity to unpack and look at the content.

Keeping the blue style of the Windows 8 series, the faint lake blue and white fonts are so simple that they form the front of the disc.

32bit, retail version is forbidden. It may be due to more compatibility, this time did not release 64bit disc media.

The back is the introduction and installation serial number, which is different from the download version on the network. The serial number is the beginning of FM, not the beginning of the download version of DJ. The serial number and online installation version here seems to be One type.

The following is the minimum configuration of the system installation, and the reference configuration on the network is the same, just do some requirements when running the App, can not be lower than the screen resolution of 1024 * 768, need to access the Internet The minimum resolution for displaying all features in full is 1366*768.

The last line is the origin of this product, manufactured by Puerto Rico.

Open the side, pull out the disc, the same simple design, the blue cover of the lake and the white font

The inner circle of the disc also proves to be produced in Puerto Rico.

Regarding this country, it seems that every time Microsoft's CD suppression begins here, and then radiates to the world, the news related to Puerto Rico was that the Halo Reach CD was stolen here.

The IFPI SID number of the inner circle cannot be found on the network, and the inner circle shows IFPI 4W** (** is a number)

The inner side of the inner circle of the disc is green and has a strip Shape coding, as well as two special symbols, do not know what it means.
The front can also see the logo from Puerto Rico

The CP version of Windows 8 also has such a wonderful point, perhaps this is a strategy for Microsoft to discard and identify the disc culture, perhaps This is the minimum technical requirement for suppressing the Microsoft CD factory. But how much has revealed the uniqueness of Microsoft in doing such small things.

Finally, I’m going to talk about an interesting topic, that is, in the future, maybe this fall, when a large number of Windows 8 official versions come to the previous RTM, I am afraid there will be few movies with DVDs. Issuance (wrong opening period), because the world's large and small tableting factories are in the process of making various versions of Windows
