I have googled some ISO's, and I think they are valid, this WZT guy(s) are well known distributors for leaking Windows 8 RTM and Windows 7 RTM.

Softpedia is confirming

This is what I was waiting for rather than risk using modified Chinese to English Frankenstein builds.

P2P is being terribly slow so I went the Mega route. Interested in seeing what 8.1 will be like for me. I will be fresh installing since I have a genuine license. Thanks.

FYI: Please refrain from posting any Links to sites that provide License/Key Codes in this thread.

Edit: I assume they're not legal codes?

 

[BoraMurdar]

I suppose they are not.

Torrent sites are fulling with WZT release's and 64bit version is already on MEGA.

Tested mine in a VM, Looks to be in good working order. Will backup anything needed on my main OS to EXHDD and will fresh install Windows 8.1 as I prefer a completely fresh start over the Upgrade option.

Is it true to you need to re-install all Store apps, even if you have them Synced with your MS account?

Pinned Store icon is usually large, unless they're going to start recommending apps with that space.

I'm not sure as I don't use a Microsoft account on Windows 8, I will be uninstalling Skydrive and Skype once it's installed.

I installed 8.1 via bootcamp earlier, runs great! However I think I'm just going to use Windows in a VM and now and again on my other machine from now on. MS have certainly done a fantastic job on 8.1 though.

I forgot to ask, can the "Start 'Icon' Shortcut" be removed? Ugh..
