Remember Windows 8 will be Cloud based...that means MS will have control of ur software ^^

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/windows%5F8%5Fpreview%5F23%5Fnew%5Ffeatures%5Fyou%5Fshould%5Fknow%5Fabout

Any word on that FTP server?

Well as usuall link to the article doesn't work....just go here: http://www.maximumpc.com/ ....and in search box at top...type: Windows 8

Read the article 23 Things you should know about Windows 8
