    This Win8 is just a modded illegal version of Windows 7 Ultimate with some custom themes and apps.
    Its against the forums rules to discuss about illegal versions of Windows 7

    Windows 8 hasn't even reached Alpha testing. In fact, I don't think it's even reached Milestone 2 (M2) yet.

    If someone has given/sold you a copy of Windows 8, then you have a lemon. Get rid of it, because you have zero idea of what malware hacks exist therin that you wouldn't want...

    Reminds me of some computer retailers here in South Africa that "skinned" Windows XP to look like Vista, and sold computers to customers claiming that it had Vista preloaded...
