Why .net 8.0.100 is a preview?
Every search on google and microsoft.com says that .NET was "released on November 14".. I installed 8.0.100 today and when I tried to create a new project it says "preview".
When is the real release? and how do you find out if it is release or preview without installing it? I dont see any mentioning of "preview" on the download page nor in the articles

Install the latest Visual Studio since (as it is said in the release notes):
Visual Studio Compatibility
You need Visual Studio 17.8 or later to use .NET 8.0 on Windows.
Otherwise it seems that you are running older VS version with Preview Features enabled.
