Windows 8 build 8064

Windows 8 build 8064 is a Milestone 3 build of Windows 8. This build was released to Microsoft partners via the Ecosystem Engagement Access Program (EEAP) and as is common for such builds from the  branch, it had the entire Metro UI stripped out at compile time and cannot be redpilled in its vanilla state. It is also one of the first known builds to use the "Windows Developer Preview" branding on the boot screen as well as featuring an updated BSOD. If looked at closely, the icons on the titlebar buttons are now the same size as the ones found in Windows 7, unlike the previous builds of Windows 8.

It is recommended to use the keyboard in order to navigate through the initial setup interface as the mouse cursor is invisible due to a bug.

Bugs

 * To install or run this build in VMware Workstation, you must set the hardware compatibility to versions 8.x or 9.x; otherwise, a partially garbled system crash message will appear upon boot.
 * The System Prepration Tool does not properly function in this build and will fail to prepare the OOBE.
