Msdn subscriptions have removed the Developer download, so I would say they are about to put up the consumer.

Later. No It's still there. Missed it first glance

    Use several different computers during a day, so specs are irrelevant.

You sure? Because I can still download the Developer Preview.

Ya'know what I just realized? One day, when I have kids and they're old enough, I'm going to explain to them when people used to use Windows 8 when I was about 19 - 22 (best guess). And then, I'm going to confuse them by saying that, when I was just a little kid, people were using Windows 98. They're going to wonder how the heck we had 95, 98, and 2000 before we had 7 or 8.
