Microsoft Windows Developer Preview, known as Windows 8, pre-beta released!
At 8PM in the US yesterday, Microsoft’s servers took a hammering as they released the first official
pre-beta build of the next Windows operating system, called Windows 8.
Interested developers and/or advanced users can download the pre-beta from the Microsoft Windows Developer website. As with anything alpha (pre-beta) or beta, data backups are recommended as if users decide to install the preview version of Windows over the top of their copy of Windows, they will not be able to roll back to the older Windows installation.
Moebuntu: It’s Ubuntu, only moeifed.
Some Japanese anime/moe character fans have built a desktop pack for Ubuntu (called Moebuntu), transforming the bland “Coffee Brown” appearance into something more appealing. Everything is customised, including title bars, colors, icons, sound sets, and the works. This pack would be perfect for people with female friends that are also into anime, or people who want a change from the generic themes. All Ubuntu software packages still work as the pack uses an installed copy of Ubuntu to achieve the desired effects.
