As said in the title, the Windows 8 Beta just released today has reached 1 million downloads (41gb/s).  This has been much faster than the developer preview since it is more stable.  New improvements in speed and UI efficiency created a smoother experience.  Apps in the app store gave developers a look on Windows 8's "Metro" UI platform.  Tiles are now live such as in Windows Phone 7.

As many of you know, the United States of America is trying to pass a bill to create Internet Cencorship.  This means that it gives the government power to take down any website containing a single piece of copyrighted material.  Here at Windows 8 Daily we like to depict our site with colorful images.  We do not actually own these images.  If the SOPA or Internet Cencorship is passed, many of our favorite websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, and even Youtube can be taken down by a couple of clicks.  And so to prevent this bill from passing please may you sign this petition by Google to help stop this horrible bill.https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/

After being released to the world in September, the Windows 8 Developer Preview has lost some buzz.  Developers around the world can't wait for the next version of Windows being released next year.  The next preview of Windows 8 is the beta which will change everything including more support and features.  The date of the Windows 8 Beta is going to be around January and Feburary said by Microsoft.  The tech world is losing patience with Microsoft and wants Windows 8 now, but we all don't want another vista if you know what I mean.  Keep up the good work Microsoft; 2011 wasn't the best year for you but 2012 will be.

Ever since the Build Conference in September, developers of all types have been downloading the Windows 8 Developer Preview.  Even normal users are downloading also.  As in the title, the download has hit 3 million downloads.  This is a very good sign for the Windows Team and Microsoft because it shows that a good amount of people have already started developing for the up-coming Windows App Store similar to Apple's App Store on Os X.  Now, Microsoft is working on the beta for a confirmed release in February.  So far, Windows 8 is doing well.

    In the Windows 8 Blog, Microsoft has posted a blog about installing updates in Windows 8. 
    In the past, Windows Update or WU, has interrupted users to try to install updates to the computer.  For example, when watching a movie or playing a game, windows would show a dialog box asking to install updates in let's say ten minutes.  Of course this annoys many users leading to the Windows Team to fix the problems.  Now updates install in about a day or two.  Everytime someone logs on the computer a message near the bottom right appears telling how many days it will be before Windows will install the updates needed to keep the computer up to date.  It can also sence when playing games or watching full-screen videos making WU saving the message to update the next time.
