Blue Poison 2 - Enable More Hidden Features of Windows 8 Preview

Published on October 15, 2011 By DrJBHL In Personal Computing

OK, this one’s for those with W8 Preview installed. You probably saw my article about some 300+ features being developed and the one about the tweaker utility for W8.

Well here’s how to get a few more of those features. This comes via gHacks.

Windows 8 Blue Poison 2 provides access to four different features: Download Windows 8 and Office 15, unlock hidden operating system features, install different start screen themes and activation related features. The Office 15 download feature is password protected, however, and I agree with M. Brinkmann as I also do NOT advise playing with that.

You have to start BP2 in the elevated command prompt (as Administrator). It then offers the various downloads. Apparently there are ten different colored themes (Windows definition of themes)

Then, click on a theme and restart your system. You can download Blue Poison 2 here (site is in Italian): http://www.windows8italia.com/2011/05/windows-8-bluepoison-official-download.html
