Descartes Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Where did you guys get the info that the DreamSpark Premium folk also get Windows 8 today? Just want to make sure it's not a rumor. Also, would it be in bad manners (or against forum rules for that matter) to ask for a link to the iso? Since I'll most likely be getting my own license key in a matter of time... :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1097975-technetmsdn-members-post-your-excitement-for-rtm-in-3-days-here/page/11/#findComment-595092517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashel Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 That's what I'm waiting for too. Hope it's up soon; I'm ready to rebuild my home DC. Server isn't due for a couple more weeks (Sept 4th).

McKay Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Is there a way to change the colour of the writing in the toolbars? I changed my theme to black and the writing is just black, not even a white glow. Also the Xbox Music app cannot find any of my music, I think it may be because it's on a separate harddrive, however it is showing up in Libraries. Also Windows Media player cannot play any videos, I just get a black screen and audio...

malinakrk Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 @Elliot: there's DreamSpark and DreamSpark Premium, according to this the Win 8 should be available on DreamSpark Premium today. Also, according to the Lee Scott whom you already referred to, it is in fact available on DSP, but the faculty's or university's DreamSpark admin has to publish it, so it may not be visible to everyone yet.

grayscale Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Damn it. Dreamspark was the first page I opened when I woke up :( Also, the trial version is not upgradable so no point of picking it up, either XD Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1097975-technetmsdn-members-post-your-excitement-for-rtm-in-3-days-here/page/11/#findComment-595092981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that DreamSpark admin has to publish it manually?Because, AFAIK, it used to be like this for MSDN:AA but now it's automated.
