Just a day after Microsoft announced that it had finished the
development cycle for the new operating system, a copy of the RTM build
9200 has found its way to a number of torrent sites. The version leaked
is an "N" edition of Windows 8 and does not include a bundled copy of
Windows Media Player. N editions of Windows are released in Europe after
the European Commission ruled in 2004 that it needed to provide a copy
of Windows without Windows Media Player built in.
Although numerous builds of Windows 8 has leaked before, this is the first build – after a long gap – that has been leaked publicly. It’s not long from now before users can officially get hold of Windows 8. MSDN and TechNet customers will receive access to Windows 8 on August 15th, while customers will be able to buy it on stores or with their new PCs starting on October 26th.
Below are some screenshots from the RTM Build. Screenshot courtesy: Neowin forum.
