Windows 8 Release Preview leaks to Web

Appearance of Chinese 64-bit build may signal milestone release this week

A Chinese edition of Windows 8, reportedly the same build that Microsoft will launch in the next week as the Release Preview, has leaked to file-sharing sites.

On Tuesday, links to Build 8400 of Windows 8 appeared on multiple sites and discussion forums, many of them Chinese-language destinations.

According to multiple reports on the Web, Build 8400 is legitimate and has successfully been installed by some users. “Canouna,” the nickname used by an administrator of the WinLeaked forum, vouched for the download.

“100% LEGIT,” Canouna tweeted early Tuesday.

Others, however, called the leak “a wild goose chase” because one widely shared link pointed to a corrupted file.

The only edition available Tuesday was the 64-bit version for Chinese users.

Microsoft has not disclosed the debut date of Windows 8 Release Preview — the name for what the company has called “release candidate” in the past — but has promised it would make the final public milestone available the first week of June.

While most have assumed that meant the week starting Monday, June 4, more recent speculation has focused on this Friday, June 1.

Screenshots of Build 8400 posted on the Internet show it was compiled May 18, prompting many to conclude that Friday was likely.

Leaks of upcoming Windows releases are not uncommon. In the run-up to Windows 7’s launch three years ago, pirated copies appeared regularly, from the October 2008 leak of an “alpha” version Microsoft meant only for developers to Windows 7 Release Candidate, which went public about two weeks before Microsoft officially launched the preview.

The company has avoided much of that with Windows 8, but whether the cause was more stringent controls on its part, lack of interest in the upgrade, the general suppression of file-sharing sites or other factors, is unknown.

Previously, Microsoft has warned users not to install leaked builds, claiming that they can be infected with malware.

Any program that you’re going to undertake must provide a properly recognised qualification as an end-result – and not a worthless ‘in-house’ diploma – fit only for filing away and forgetting. If the accreditation doesn’t feature a big-hitter like Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco or CompTIA, then chances are it will have been a waste of time – because it won’t give an employer any directly-useable skills.

Don’t get hung-up, as a lot of students can, on the accreditation program. You’re not training for the sake of training; you’re training to become commercially employable. You need to remain focused on where you want to go. It’s quite usual, for instance, to find immense satisfaction in a year of study only to end up putting 20 long years into a tiresome job role, simply because you did it without some quality research at the beginning.

Take time to understand how you feel about career development, earning potential, and whether you intend to be quite ambitious. You should understand what (if any) sacrifices you’ll need to make for a particular role, which particular certifications will be required and where you’ll pick-up experience from. We’d recommend you seek guidance and advice from an industry professional before you begin a particular training path, so you can be sure that the specific package will give the skill-set required for your career choice.

There are colossal changes washing over technology in the near future – and it becomes more and more thrilling each day. We’re barely beginning to get a handle on what this change will mean to us. How we interact with the world will be inordinately affected by computers and the web.

If earning a good living is around the top on your wish list, then you will be happy to know that the usual remuneration for most men and women in IT is much better than with most other jobs or industries. The need for appropriately qualified IT professionals is certain for a good while yet, thanks to the substantial growth in the technology industry and the huge deficiency that we still have.
