Windows 8
Honemi:
I do believe there are some torrents of the RTM version of 8.1 floating about, but I don't think anyone has created a workable crack yet. Of course, I haven't looked too hard.
As far as the other information goes, all I know is that some goon from SA whose works for Microsoft has confirmed that those using the Preview Release version will have to reinstall all their programs when they update from Preview Release to the official release. Data will be retained, though.
It's probably for the best you wait to do the update rather than going with the Preview Release. Microsoft is basically treating like a public beta (which it is) and does not offer a convenient update path between it and the proper release of Windows 8.1.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
Tanis:
So, wait...when Win8.1 comes out.
Does that mean programs like Start8 will become useless?
Honemi:
No. The Start Menu is still replaced by the Start Screen.
zherok:
I get to save a swipe gesture at least. ::)
Tatsujin:
8.1 is out. Who downloaded it? Who's got a pirated copy that's running 8.1?
