1278425 2012-06-01 02:14:00 If possible could someone burn the ISO file to a disc and send it out to me? The uni wifi is as slow as a sloth in mud and there's no spare data at home... :( pcuser42 (130)
1278426 2012-06-01 03:21:00 This post comes to you via the all-new, all-singing all-dancing Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 8 Release Preview! Ta-da!

Nothing else to say yet as I've only just fired it up. More later.

And as yet there is no way to get opera. Yay! Always have hated ie, and the latest verson is just as bad - I can't even find a way to make google my default search engine.

Congrats Microsoft for trying your hardest to turn people in to osx fans.

what I'd like to see
A way to make the desktop the default
More consistent metro, it's hard enough getting used to without getting thrown back to desktop
More Apps!
A taskbar with a easier way to turn the pc off
like on android, a small button to access all your apps
the email app to suport google chat.
Stop the apps on metro auto arranging, its like on ios guys.

Well, that's my rant (for now at least)

Fixed.

As a side note, I was seriously impressed that the windows 7 to windows 8 upgrade is only $15. Maybe they are trying to turn everyone into OS X fans :p

1278433 2012-06-01 06:16:00 Well, unless it is vastly different from the other releases, I dont think I'll bother. I'll hang out for Windows 9 if Microsoft hasnt gone broke from the failure of Windows 8 :D Iantech (16386)
