Microsoft\u2019s Steven Sinofsky, Thursday, proudly announced the release of Windows 8 version to manufacturers (RTM). But he had no idea that the final version of Windows 8 will be leaked to the internet just after one day of the release.<\/p>\n
The version leaked is an “N” edition of Windows 8 which doesn\u2019t consist of a bundled copy of Windows Media Player. A 2004 European Commission forced that Microsoft needs to provide a copy of Windows without the media player tied to it.<\/p>\n
Microsoft is not discussing the leak, but it seems that someone working at an OEM partner is accountable for the leak.<\/p>\n
The leaked copy is an English-language version, although it is a non-booting file that needs creation of install disk. It is also assumed that the leaked version is a fake one but those who have looked at it believes that it\u2019s the real one.<\/p>\n
Microsoft is releasing the final version of Windows 8 via MSDN and TechNet services on August 15 and only selected audiences like developers and IT professionals will be able to access the non- pirated copy of Windows 8.<\/p>\n
Microsoft will officially launch Windows 8 version on October 26, with two editions in retail i.e. Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro and another, the Enterprise edition.<\/p>\n
