Windows 8 Final Version Leaked To FileSharing Websites

Windows 8 release date is not too far away, but that's not stopping an anonymous person from leaking the final version to multiple file-sharing Websites.

For what we know, this version of Windows 8 could have so many backdoors for hackers to get in, so we wouldn't recommend seeking it out.
