Windows 8 build 8102

Windows 8 build 8102 is a Developer Preview build of Windows 8. It was released on 8 September 2011.

Compilations
This official Developer Preview build has two compiles:


 * build 8102.0 - after uninstalling an update; it was compiled before 8102.101;
 * build 8102.101 - officially released by Microsoft.

Redpill
Unlike other builds, Redpill is enabled by default. However, it is still possible to disable it: just set  to 0.

Bugs

 * It is one of the notable Windows 8 builds that has a broken timebomb and can be installed on the current date.
 * You must set 8.x or 9.x compatibility in VMware.
 * Application windows that use the DWM to expand the glass frame into their client area might appear broken, with the transparency effect failing to render for the lower half of the window.
 * Switching to a High Contrast theme and then switching back to Aero or Aero Lite might result in a fully transparent taskbar.
 * Running  with the Aero Lite theme will enable the glass effect for that theme.
