The near-final Release Preview test build of Windows 8 is available. All About Microsoft posted whats in (and not) in the latest build.



Microsoft execs are saying the Release Preview is feature-complete, despite the fact that they’ve said there still will be some fairly major changes coming to Windows 8, such as the removal of the “Aero” interface, happening some time after the Release Preview hit.

The Release Preview includes relatively few features that were not in the last public test build, the Consumer Preview (a k a, the beta). There have been under-the-hood tweaks for performance. There have been improvements to multi-monitor support, as outlined recently on the Building Windows 8 blog.
