Windows 8 Developer Preview (Pre-beta) has been released a few days ago. Many people including me are downloading and testing the new Operating System. This release of Windows is specifically for developers so that when Windows 8 is finally released, there will be some software available in the market to help reinforce the new version of Windows into the software market.
