Can anyone confirm that the SHA-1 hashes given on this page are correct? I just finished downloading the three files and for all of them, I get a different hash.

I hope I don't have to download them again...

I downloaded
WindowsDeveloperPreview-64bit-English-Developer.iso
and the SHA-1 hash is the same as the Microsoft website says...

Currently installed and running on my Laptop too!! :)

EDIT: I used this program to generate an SHA-1 hash if that helps.

The guy discussing it with the woman was just like one of those advertorials. They have largely copied apples keynote with the guy in his mono toned v-neck vs steves turtleneck.
