Windows 8 build 8250

Windows 8 build 8250 is the official Consumer Preview build of Windows 8 that was released by Microsoft on 2012-02-29. The Metro interface has been given major updates that makes them resemble the RTM. It also allows changing different background styles and colors and the lock screen background is different. This build also has a working Windows Store and Live apps. This build also installs multiple other Metro applications as well, as with the other Windows 8 builds officially released from Microsoft.

Installation
Turn off all network adapters even if you set the BIOS date for the machine, otherwise after the hardware setup it will automatically adjust to the current time via online time syncing and thus activate the timebomb. Another quirk is installing this build without setting the BIOS date. This requirement is optional, but not doing this will result in the computer rebooting every two hours.
