| 1230970 | 2011-09-14 10:23:00 | It worked in Virtual Box after 2 attempts. It lags a lot on my laptop (need guest-additions). Will try HDD dualboot tomorrow or Friday. | sahilcc7 (15483) | ||
| 1230971 | 2011-09-14 10:43:00 | What do you mean by "doesn't let me enter one"? They seem to want an email address... otherwise you can go down a bit and choose "Local Account" if you don't want your details stored in the cloud. I restarted it and went to get my camera out of the car to take a pic to post, took the pic and pressed a key and all of a sudden it started to work - strange, but hey, followed the next screens through, and its all loaded :yuck: |

| 1230972 | 2011-09-14 10:53:00 | When it boots its very quick to the boot page, that IE posted (address bar along the bottom) is from that page. If you carry on into windows then IE is exactly the same as the current IE9. The way the OS start page is currently laid out its more designed towards touch screens. As you mentioned - Internet kiosk interface :yuck: Hmm, that's not too bad if you can get proper IE as well. At least that means the other browsers may not try to totally copy that interface. I don't know why they're going on with this touchscreen stuff. For tablets it makes sense I guess but for a normal PC it's idiotic. There's a reason why people gave up on it the back in the 80s: en.wikipedia.org I would never want a touchscreen on a desktop PC, mainly because of the ergonomic issue and another good factor is that I don't want to drag my finger and leave marks all over the damn screen! |

| 1230973 | 2011-09-14 11:09:00 | My arms arent long enough to have a touch screen lol. Anyone worked out where the off button is yet? :D | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1230974 | 2011-09-14 11:15:00 | Found it by accident :rolleyes: ctrl/Alt/ Del log off - click on the picture, which rolls up --- It was on the bottom right hand corner of the screen --theres go to be an easier way. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1230975 | 2011-09-14 12:10:00 | Put your mouse hard against the bottom left hand corner, it brings up a we menu, click on settings, a green (horrible) panel slides out from the right side and click on power (found that by accident also). Seems the whole program is an acident, lol. Have to agree that it loads really fast though, takes about 16 seconds to the green kiosk screen. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1230976 | 2011-09-14 14:32:00 | I'll wait until all the reviews are in. It can't be as hard as an L-based system - right? Got my finger all cleaned and degreased and ready for the kiosk screen - but which finger do you think they want you to use? |
