I just don’t understand why have they kept the product name as consumer preview before that there was a developer preview. I mean why do they release such versions in the market and what is the purpose? That’s what I am not understanding at all. So will you all make me understand something about it. it would be better.
See whenever a new product is released the manufacturers do release it for testing, they can’t release the new product directly In the market. Since some testing has to be done for the products, so they release it for the general public to check how the product is and given their feedback. Now depending upon the feedback the manufacturers makes some changes in their products.

Well they were called as alpha versions and beta versions then why are they called as consumer preview and developers preview now? Why the sudden change in the naming?Quote:

So making it available for the general public before launching and testing it from the consumers is far better then the limited beta testing. So hope you did understand what I am trying to say here.
Two benefits of having the Windows 8 Consumer preview. So first is that the new version is the preview and not the test version. Plus it is being made available for the general public. So all the users can get a first hand experience in it. with the consumer preview both will be benefiting one is the consumer and the other is Microsoft. :thumbup1:
