Windows 8 Final Build Leaked Online

Oops! It looks like Apple isn’t the only company with leak problems! The final build of Windows 8 has been officially leaked across multiple sharing sites. You’ll have to venture to the dark corners of the internet to get your mitts on a copy, so beware!

Even though MSDN and TechNet customers won’t be able to actually receive access to the final “bits” of Windows 8 until August 15th, and “Enterprise” version of the software behemoth’s latest OS is widely available on internet sharing sites. The available version is an “N” build, which is compiled without the addition of Windows Media Player. The “N” build became popular after the European Commission’s ruling that bundling Windows Media Player without the option to not receive the additional software was creating unfair competition.

Microsoft has not offered comments on the leak.

Will you venture down the rabbit hole of the internet to get a sneak peak at the final build of Windows 8? Know anyone that has? Let us know in the comments, shoot me an email (sam@realgeekstech.com), or hit me up on Twitter (@SamEllTRG).
