Microsoft physically hands over Windows 8 to OEMs

There are several ways to deliver software to clients with secured FTPs being one option but sometimes an old fashion hand-over is warranted to celebrate the occasion.

Microsoft has posted a few images up on its Facebook page to highlight the company physically handing over Windows 8 RTM to its OEM partners. You can check out the images in our gallery below but note that what is inside the white boxes has yet to be unveiled.

You can clearly see the client branding on the box for each manufacture that will be receiving its code directly from Microsoft. While this is certainly a symbolic transfer, it is cool to see Microsoft literally hand over its code to its OEMs.

As a reminder, you can get Windows 8 starting on October 26th either by upgrading for $39.99 or with the purchase of a new PC. If you buy an eligible Windows 7 PC today, you will be able to purchase an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $14.99 (U.S.) through the Windows Upgrade Offer.

Brace yourself. Windows 8 leaks are coming.

However, I doubt that one will be able to confirm them unless we see the hashes on MSDN/Technet.

Looks like we are going to be able to get a genuine upgrade license for about $40 if we have a genuine older license of XP/Vista/7 so I am tempted to get a genuine license rather then using loader.

MS could give that pile of crap away free and I'd still refuse to use it.

Win7 isn't going anywhere for the foreseeable future on any of my machines.
