The February 29 deadline is quickly approaching and Microsoft is putting together builds of WIndows 8 at a feverish pace to make sure the Consumer Preview is a top notch representation of the platform



From Neowin:

If you have been around Neowin long enough, we are talking years, you will know that a build number is something many people track. As the for the upcoming Consumer Preview, Win8China is stating that the build for that product will be 8250.

Why is this important? For one reason it can give us a benchmark as to how close the latest leaks are to the build that will eventually land on our own machines on February 29 and for those keeping score, it looks like Windows 8 is currently at build 8227 which means there are still several iterations to go before we see the actual build that will land on the 29th.
