And, just to show you where our priorities are, the new machines are all 32-bit. What old-stock warehouse did they dig those things out of? The finest machines the lowest bidder could provide... |

Here (Australia) Microsoft is not intending to sell full packages, only upgrades, so no clean installs. That alone will create massive headaches for those who lack IT experience. |

First thing the upgrade installer asks is whether to do an in-situ or side-by-side dual-boot upgrade. And yes, "upgrading" by doing a separate side-by-side clean install is always best. You can then boot to either version or downgrade back if all the needed apps and drivers aren't available. |

Installed my $15 Win8 Pro upgrade. The developer preview had support for 16-bit apps, the gold code does not.
Win8 suffers from the same split personality disorder as OSX Mountain Lion. |

I had my first epic fail today. Watching a video and when it was finished the mouse was no longer recognized, first I thought it might be a BT problem, but the trackpad wasn't recognized either. The corners weren't activated and clicking on something yielded zilch. For some reason the "Power button" was recognized so I could turn it off and then on again. But when I couldn't even click anything inside Task Manager I was worried.
PS. I believe I may have found the culprit. Google Music Manager. After using that application applications on the desktop won't recognize the mouse. Last edited by Kumabjorn; 11-01-2012 at 02:24 PM. Reason: epiphany |
