Windows 8 build 8090 is a late Developer Preview build of Windows 8. The Assessment and Deployment Kit for this build was included as part of the Intel LPIA partner drop for build 8112 (fbl_core1_soc), uploaded on 29 September 2024. Prior to its leak, a screenshot of this build's x64 Preinstallation Environment was first uploaded onto the BetaWiki Discord server on 26 June 2022; a low-quality camera recording of the PrereleaseARM SKU variation, which depicted an unknown Microsoft employee showing off this build's screen rotation capabilities on a NVIDIA Tegra 3 development kit, was later published by former Windows division president Steven Sinofsky in issue 104 of his account of events during his time at Microsoft, titled Hardcore Software.[1][2]
It is notably the earliest known build to be compiled from the winmain_win8m3 branch, which would be used for the public Developer Preview release.
