Imagine a grandma seeing a bsod, she would freak out, this would actually calm her down. And if you want to debug, it saves a file with all the info somewhere

Grandma should get a mac.

That's right, PC's are for people who need to do more then check their mail and surf the web.

Since when did a Mac become a server? ;_;

I read on some websites that Build 7955 does not work in VMWare. And that you have to use VirtualBox, not sure though ;_;

 

[ThePro]

You need a CPU with virtualization and use it on VirtualBox, so mine won't work.

BUMP:

There was a leak of a x64 Possible Server build

It should be on torrents in a few hours, right now it's only in a private ftp server that I have access to.

Fuck man, Pro you're a l33t-pro, thanks for all that stuff. Gonna download it now and test it. I'll post screenies ASAP, it's downloading fast for me!

EDIT:
Sucks for me, I downloaded the whole torrent which Pro provided, but it came out to be no working shit after 79% in Expanding Windows.

Please don't link to illegal things Pro, I'm sure those who want to install Windows 8 fill find their way through Google.

 

[ThePro]

Not really, try googling ''download windows 8'' or ''windows 8'', all you get are shitty transformation packs or viruses

 

[Mave]

Yeah but still, feel free to provide these links on an AIM then, I do not want links to illegally leaked software on my forum.

 

[ThePro]

k, fixed.

 

[Maffia171]

Did you try out the new leak ThePro? Just wondering ;_;

 

[ThePro]

No, since it is 64bit
