Windows 8 Beta date Rumor

[Trouble]

The latest rumor flying around today seems to indicate that February 26th will be the release date for the Windows 8 Beta. The fact that, that is on a Sunday is a little peculiar but does fit with most of the other earlier rumors regarding late Februrary as being the general release time frame.
I'll be waiting and watching.

This may be a resource Bing
Check it Wednesday 9 a.m. Eastern Time (New York), the link in the bottom left that says "Windows 8 Consumer Preview"
Latest thing I've seen thus far.

I'm kind of wondering if this will also be the IE 10 homepage in the consumer preview.

"and from there, they'll have access to Windows Explorer, a desktop version of Internet Explorer,"

? A quote from Pcworld's sneek preview.

Well tomorrow's the day. It appears at 9 am US ET. I suspect the servers will be hit hard initially. Anyone know the official URL of the release?

I agree.. no doubt I'll end up starting the download over at least twice. Which sucks as I'll be using remote desktop on my phone from class. A member of our team has the URL, but hasn't released it. He'll be providing it to me first thing tomorrow, and I'll be posting it in the forum announcements on Windows7Forums.com immediately afterwards. No doubt it will make it's way back to here before long
