Developer preview in the first part of April

Yard work. That's my plan. Just not at my own house...

2 days

Uncounting...

Slowly wasting away here eating softmints, refreshing the news constantly.

I am counting 2 days as 2 months the time is moving very slowly. It is natural that when we're waiting for some thing or some one, the time doesn't move. but when we're at happiest moments, we don't how we spent the time, time runs naturally faster.

But...I'm ecstatic and happy that it's arriving...

Time is getting exponentially slower as the update approaches. My fear is that one minute before the update becomes available: time will become so slow that, for all intents and purposes, it ceases altogether.

Maybe someone could write a good Sci-Fi story based off this concept to pass the time until we finally get 8.1?

I agree... Perhaps it's time to create a new thread for time-passing nonsense?

I really hope it comes on April 14th.
GDR3 Dev Preview arrived on Oct 14th (which was also a Monday)

Hahaha, good point. Indeed, such a massive update, packed into such a small number (.1)? It seems very possible to be dense enough to create a black hole, event horizon and all. xD

Anyone notice in the highlights of the week article it said 'in the next five days'? I'm a tad confused now...

Joe Belfiore said it was "coming early next week." So basically, anytime between Sunday and Wednesday, but most likely Monday or Tuesday.

Isn't that 4 days though? Till Wednesday I mean? Mind you...yeah actually it makes sense now in American time...I think...

Good point...and it will be exactly 6 months too...

 

[SwimSwim]

Most rumors still point to April 14th, and it fits Joe's cryptic message of "early next week."

I've been banking on the 14th for weeks now. Any later, and I think my heart might literally stop.

Sigh, I remember laughing at all the people freaking out over iOS 7, now look at me, what have I become? :0

 

[agd87]

Really looking forward to this update. I'm really glad Microsoft have allowed general fans to sign up for the developer preview.
