Don’t Use Expired Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 M3 - After March 8, 2012
As is the case with all pre-release software, and Windows 8 Build 8102 M3 is as pre-release as it gets, Windows Developer Preview is time-bombed.
This means that Microsoft has slapped an expiration date onto the first public test Build of Windows 8.
According to the information offered via the “About Windows” dialog box in one of the test copies of Windows 8 Developer Preview deployed here at Softpedia, the expiration deadline is March 12, 2012.
However, the EULA, or end user license agreement tells a story that’s a tad different, offering another expiration date, a few days ahead of the one revealed by “About Windows.”
“The term of this agreement will expire on March 8, 2012 (“the expiration date”),” reads an excerpt of the Windows 8 Developer Preview license terms.
But the additional details that the Windows 8 Build 8102 M3 EULA contains are very interesting. It appears that the rights of early adopters testing the Windows Developer Preview will be drastically limited after the Build expires, namely after March 8, 2012.
As readers will be able to read below, the EULA covers not only Windows 8 Build 8102 M3 but also the applications that ship with it.
“You have no right to use the software after the expiration date. Starting from the expiration date, you may not be able to access any unsaved data used with the software. Any applications you receive through the Windows Store will also cease to be available to you in future versions, unless they are made available for re-download and you re-acquire them. You may not receive any other notice,” the software giant reveals.
As far as I’m concerned, testers have little to worry about. I’m more than sure that Microsoft will have already provided Windows 8 Beta before Windows Developer Preview expires, so testers will have a new toy to play with.
Windows 8 Is Windows 6.2
Don’t be surprised if Microsoft ends up making the successor of Windows 8, Windows 6.3, because most likely, this is the plan.
The Windows OS version increment can be a source of incompatibilities with existing applications, especially if they’re designed to check for upper bound OS version.
Microsoft is simply doing away with some potential compatibility issues by keeping versioning changes as small as possible.
Remember how well Vista apps ran on Windows 7? Well, the promise from Microsoft is that Windows 7 applications will play just as nice on Windows 8.
“The internal version number for Windows Developer Preview and Windows Server Developer Preview is 6.2. All of the versioning APIs will return this version number (GetVersion, GetVersionEx),” the company said.
This is an important piece of information for app developers that can easily tweak their projects in order to make sure that users will have no problems running them on Windows 8.
It’s also good practice for the Windows client that will succeed Windows 8, let’s call it Windows 9 since they’re all codenames after all, and for which Microsoft will use a similar versioning strategy.
Here’s what devs need to keep in mind when it comes to ensuring that their apps deal with the version change in Windows 8:
“Generally, apps should not perform operating system version checks. If an app needs a specific feature, it is preferable to try to find the feature, and fail only if the needed feature is missing.
“At a minimum, apps should always accept version numbers greater than or equal to the lowest supported version of the operating system. Exceptions should occur only if there is a specific legal, business, or system-component requirement.
Intel Launches Cedar Trail Atom D2500 and D2700 CPUs
The Atom brand is one that Intel has used for quite some time, with the netbook and nettop market being the main one responsible for all the attention it got from the media.
Now though, netbooks and nettops have lost much of their thunder, and there were even rumors that the Santa Clara, California-based company would drop the Atom brand altogether.
Intel was quite fast in coming forth and dispelling those rumors, and the arrival of two new, Cedar Trail chips from the series underscores its statement.
The new chips go by the names of Atom D2500 and D2700 and are constructed on the 32nm manufacturing process technology.
They are aimed at nettops (low-end desktops, hence the D) and will be followed by the mobile N2600 and N2800 at some point in the future.
Both newcomers are dual-core units with prices of $42 (31 Euro) and $52 (38.39 Euro) in quantities of one thousand.
The major difference between the two, besides the clock frequencies, is the fact that the D2700, being the stronger of the pair, boasts hyper-Threading technology.
Speaking of clocks, the D2500 has the core and graphics working at 1.86 GHz and 400 MHz, respectively, while the D2700 works at 2.13 GHz and 640 MHz, respectively.
The rest of their specs are mostly identical, with a cache memory (L2) of 1 MB and a TDP (thermal design power) of 10W.
Users that buy systems powered by one of these items, or make one themselves, can expect to enjoy HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity, on-chip decoding of HD video formats, fast memory access and DirectX 10.1 support.
The upcoming N-series will feature the above as well, though a significantly lower TDP, although it does come at a cost of slightly lower frequencies. The NM10 chipset was preserved.
Windows 8 Compatibility Center Coming Up
Following the advent of its next major iteration of the Windows client, Microsoft will continue to provide an online hub designed to reveal to customers just what products from the software and hardware ecosystem are compatible with the operating system.
Essentially, users should get ready for the advent of the Windows 8 Compatibility Center.
It’s important to note that the Redmond company considers Windows 8 more of a code-name than an actual product brand, and that the successor of Windows 7 might not feature this label.
As such, the Compatibility Center for Windows 8 will also sport the commercial brand of the operating system, once Microsoft decides on one – it hasn’t happened yet, as far as I can tell.
But the Windows 8 Compatibility Center is indeed coming, and it will be the evolution of the Windows 7 Compatibility Center that continues to be available to customers today.
There’s no telling at this point in time just what changes the software giant will make to the Compatibility Center in order to get it ready for the next version of Windows.
Still, it’s nothing short of a safe bet to expect it to be focused on highlighting the software and hardware that play nice with Windows 8. Users will have an online hub at their disposal which will streamline access to Windows 8 compatible device drivers, software programs, updates, and downloads.
There are additional resources available today on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center, such as the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor. As far as I’m concerned, it would be a good idea for Microsoft to make sure that users will continue to leverage the advisor and other compatibility tools with Windows 8.
While all software and hardware playing nice with Windows 7’s successor will be listed on the new Compatibility Center, the applications that are Windows 8 certified will automatically be included, Microsoft revealed.
