It seems like some people have started to write tech guides for Windows 8 already. Me being an avid blogger, you’d expect to see me at it too. Not yet. And here’s why.
What we have now is a Developer Preview. It isn’t even a beta. We know squat about how things work under the hood. We know even less about best practice. Heck, the product is buggy (as one should expect at this stage of the development and test cycle) and probably isn’t feature complete or locked.
If I write something on Windows 8 then I want to give you as much valid information as possible. My SEO (by no skill or knowledge) is not bad so when I write a doc or a guide, it tends to score well on the search engines. That means the content sticks around and is referenced. Therefore I will be waiting a while until we have a more complete product, we do know more about how things work, and we have figured out some best practices.
Until then, have fun playing with the pre-beta release, but be aware than the Server Core group are still hard at work and are still listening to feedback. Things will change and so will your plans.
Thank You! Enough of the “Get the inaccurate info out there first” posts… It’s nice to see the screen shots and all of that, but I really do not want to dig into any article until the product is complete.
