Just as a point of interest, nothing to do with functionality. Do you know what the fish you see in the middle of the screen while installing the CP is and what it represents?

Exactly Asyn so I guess that how they're designating it as a Betta (Beta) release.  :D
Well, it is beta than the last build isn't it. ???   ;D ;D

Or, it could also mean that it's "Betta" than the first preview release.  :D

I have to say that after reading Ed Bott's article on ZD Net that I have a much more positive impression than I did before. I most likely still won't get it since I'm very happy with Win 7 but it looks a lot more workable in the consumer PC arena than it did before.

Was wondering if anyone knows if there is ReFS file system support in Windows 8 CP version?

I installed and found out that my disk is still formatted as Ntfs

You're welcome. I plan on installing the Win 8 Server Beta on one of my systems once I get back home just to see how much different the new format is. :)

I was just wondering. by the way windows 8 looks by the pictures and even the videos i watched of it on youtube.. it looks like it will be awesome.. I was asking that because i wanted to know because some people on Lockergnome's irc channel some people said they think it will be like windows vista.. i think windows 8 will be perfect.. :)

Although Microsoft has removed the Start Menu we have all knows for many years, they have added something new.
Microsoft has added a new context menu which appears when you right-click on extreme bottom-left corner of screen.



You can also use keyboard shortcut "Win+X" to access this new quick access menu.
You can also
