While I am here at the Microsoft MVP Summit time is limited to do thorough reviews about the new Consumer Preview of Windows 8.
I am in the process of getting it downloaded and will have it installed on both my Acer Iconia Tab W500 and my ASUS Eee 1000HE netbook which have both been running the developers preview over the last few months.
However, there is already some great content available on both Microsoft and other tech blogs to get you started reading about the update as it is downloading so let me share some of those links with you below to get you on you’re way.
