IIRC it allows you to buy it on the spot when it ends, and it was for the RC that you would have had to reformat
Ever since I installed Windows 8 my machine has been laggy as fuck. I tried to shut it down and it kept getting errors so I can't shut it down and when I log in my entire system lags, the mouse is lagging and everything, this happened to anybody else? I reckon it's because I didn't do a fresh install
windows 8 RTM did constantly use 20% of my CPU on my Elitebook. traced the problem to some NT kernel problem. Back onto Linux on it now, until it gets fixed.
How are the Lenovo Thinkpad tablets?

Some of the built in ones have updated several times since release fixing bugs and stuff. Note that you have to go to the Store to do this and not Windows Update (although make sure its up to date too). Just in case you didn't know.

How long did the download take for you guys? Been going for 5 hours, and my finish time varies from another 6 to 21. My internet isn't usually too slow.

Took me 10 min on my desktop and weird enough one hour on my laptop... Servers must have been unstable there.
My Opinion (just my opinion): I think windows 8 makes your PC into a cell phone, thats why I don't like it too much, but as I see in my perspective most of you use cell phones and windows phones and you are 24/7 on THEM, I don't want to start a war, but seriously though[U], Bill[/U]?

[QUOTE=SynisterSilen;38280997]Anybody using Win8 on one of those old touch-smart computers?[/QUOTE] HP Touchsmart? They're horrible. I have one, and the graphics card burned out, so I had to hack it to use the integrated chip. Which runs fine, except that the latest drivers for it are for Vista. Oh, and the touchscreen is definitely not multitouch. It literally just moves the mouse cursor to whatever spot you tap. And the sensitivity is so bad.
If your computer is within arms reach, why are you guys not using the [URL="http://cezl.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/powa.jpg"]power button on the case its self[/URL]?
