| 1353061 | 2013-09-09 22:30:00 | Just a heads up for those that have access to MSDN or TechNet, Microsoft have released the final versions of Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 versions. Downloading them all now. :D |

| 1353062 | 2013-09-09 22:45:00 | Is it an ISO of the complete OS, and can it upgrade an existing Windows 8 installation? (Just hanging out for it to appear on MSDNAA :p) |

I was able to upgrade to 8.1 Preview from my Windows 8 so one would assume you'll be able to do the same with the final version from the app store. |

Let you know later -- Thanks for the heads up, looks like they bowed to pressure, wasn't meant to be out till 18th oct. |

After the backlash from saying it wasn't going to be available till the 18th Oct, they changed their minds. Wasn't there yesterday when I went in,but is today.

| 1353067 | 2013-09-10 03:04:00 | Yup I read that MSDN and Tech can get it. But thats what one site said about MSDNAA. Is it the same thing or different? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1353068 | 2013-09-10 03:09:00 | As far as I'm aware, the MSDNAA program was dropped a few years back, being replaced by the slightly-differently-modelled Dreamspark - which typically does not get an RTM product until actual retail availability. | inphinity (7274) | ||

Ah yeah, looking again the university's site does have DreamSpark branding. Damn, was hoping to get it. :( |
