SOLVED Question about timebomb on Windows 8/8.1 test builds.
I still have Windows 8 Dev. Preview and Release Preview builds which i downloaded back when they were released.
Since build 8400 is my favorite (the default aero glass and wallpapers are beautiful). I decided to take it for a ride...One year later.
A strange thing i noticed is: Even though it says the license has expired and obviously cannot be activated, nothing happens. The system continues to work without a hitch, no restarts, no black wallpaper.
I was even able to use windows update.
Does this mean the timebomb in this build is broken?
I felt so nostalgic now
