[QUOTE=P320;36274780]Other than having to use Task Manager to switch users (retarded...), I've really had no issues with the RP release. The wireless issues I had with the past 2 releases have been fixed, so I'm a happy man.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for that tip... I didn't know.
Just read some of the old thread, it's pretty funny.
Seems like I was right about Aero one year ago: [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1044902&p=28695100&viewfull=1#post28695100[/url]
I'm liking it so far, but I have an odd text issue with facepunch. It sort of reminds me of that weird stuff that happened with the windows 7 betas.

They aren't perfect for cropping, but you can see what I mean. The first screen is the 'normal' text. The second is after I select some text and release, OR if I switch to that tab from another one. If you move your mouse around it defaults to the first screen's text. And it's only on facepunch that I've noticed it. It does it a few times when typing text too, randomly flickering while I type, which is really annoying as well.
Looks like DirectWrite / ClearType is having issues. Is this just in Firefox?

Yep.
I really dislike the whole metro UI. I installed it over top of Windows 7 because I might be getting a laptop to replace this desktop in the future. I log in, I'm greeted with this weird metro UI stuff. :( Most of the routines that I do on windows 7 (click on start button and type to search instead of having to use their metro search going through the apps, leaving fullscreen in youtube videos (bring up that stupid charms menu now), among other things) I cannot do in Windows 8.
It's a damned shame they're literally forcing this stupid tablet UI with their tiny little "apps" onto their userbase. I'm definitely not switching to Windows 8 permanently when it comes out. So far to me, it seems like it's going to go the way of Vista and Zune.
Also, the release preview should NOT say "[b]TAP[/b] here to decide what to do with this drive" when you mount new drives through disk management. No Microsoft, this is a desktop, not a tablet.

I haven't seen anyone say it works. We might just have to wait for a patch if Rockstar ever decides to make one.

The text on the top one looks like blurred shit. The text on bottom looks fine.

Are you trying to retroactively add alt-text to that screenshot or something?
[QUOTE=BBgamer720;36264027]So I've just moved over to Windows 8 from Windows 7, and I must say, I'm impressed! It's fast as hell and looks beautiful. Still a bit confusing in places, had to use Task Manager to get myself out of the 'settings' area. I don't know if it's the install wizard, but my USB wireless adapter (Which doesn't work properly out of the box with Linux, nevermind Windows 7) worked straight from install, graphics drivers worked fine. Had to install Realtek drivers for sound but that was no issue. Wireless is fast as hell too![/QUOTE]
When in doubt, press the Windows Key on your keyboard.
Google just released their Metro version of Chrome.

There's nothing metro about it in the least bit.
Yes those are tiered menus.
Well let's see how long I can go Metro only.
Upon further inspection it might just be a Win32 Application thrown together to work in the metro interface.
So no ideas on what to do with it?

Nothing Metro [i]yet[/i]. They've got the browser in Metro, now I suspect work will be put into actually Metro-fying it.
Windows 8 has a very retarded way to boot Windows 7 in its new fancy OS selection menu. It restarts the PC when I tell it to boot with Windows 7 and THEN boots with windows 7. I assume that it's because windows 8 already booted, and this wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that everytime it does that Windows 7 prompts me for a chkdsk. Ugh.

[QUOTE=Panda X;36295113]I haven't had to check disk when selecting 7.[/QUOTE]
it's most likely my hard drive, but it's perfectly fine, the chkdsk shows no errors and this is a 5 month old laptop anyways.
I have Windows 8 setup on a kids' desktop. I'm trying to force Chrome down their throats so I can monitor their activity, and IE10 isn't supported for my monitoring tool, since IE10 is still in beta. How can I remove IE10 from the Startscreen, without uninstalling it completely?

Seriously though I've been busy for the last forever. All i know is that the RC thing came out, and so Windows 8 is basically done? Anything interesting happen with it?
Seen the RC, Windows 8's goal is probably to hate drivers.
..other than that, nothing really interesting.
I may be late with my question, but did it get any better compatbility wise the newest release?
Compatibility? Yes. Stability? Worse than previous releases.
Is installing worth it? Not as main OS. Chances are it'll space out after a few weeks.

Knowing Microsoft, "after a few service packs."
