Big day today, Microsoft is posting the Windows 8 consumer preview for download. I plan to attempt to download it, but the site will probably be overwhelmed for a good while. Not a huge Windows fan, but always eager to play around with any new operating systems.
Also on tap today, the Raspberry Pi is finally on sale. Initially I believe this will only be available in the UK, but hopefully we will soon be able to buy it here in the US. This little gem, for those who don't know, is a complete computer available on a credit card sized board and is able to run special versions of Linux. It is also capable of displaying 1080p video, so the uses are many for this pint sized computer.
The big plus is the cost. Only $25 for the version without ethernet, and $35 for the full blown system! As I said the uses will be many, but I have plans to make a music server for my car.
