In part, these dates have been confirmed. On 20 January was completed the last pre-Beta build 8189.0.winmain.120120-1830 , while 24 to 31 January have been compiled so-called Beta Escrow (ie the build including the one that was chosen to become the public beta):
- 8191.0.winmain.120124-1748
- 8192.0.winmain.120125-1820
- 8193.0.winmain.120126-1830
- 8194.0.winmain.120127-1917
- 8195.0.winmain.120131-1637
On January 30, however, has not been released Beta – we learn to call the Consumer Preview – Windows 8, but it’s something important happened: how in fact we had always written the same article , Consumer Windows 8 Preview was presented internally and probably distributed to a limited group of testers .
At the same time also began testing the parallel branch winmain_win8beta . We know these two builds:
- 8220.0.winmain_win8beta.120127-1925
- 8222.0.winmain_win8beta.120131-1912
We know little about these two builds: it’s probably build branch winmain chosen to become the Consumer Preview public, transplanted in the fieldwinmain_win8beta .
But now let us analyze the exclusive screenshots we got. Portray the web installerof Consumer Preview Windows 8 , what is probably in the second half of February we will use to download and install the next public release of Windows 8.
