    Aren't beta's fun?
    I'm using the 64 bit version, don't know if it matters. I'm sure other oddities will pop up along the way.

    I am using 32 bit version on my 64 bit capable machine, guess that's why showing differently.

    Same on my PC, but I found a solution for my notebook. Almost every brand notebook has a utility that manage WiFi. For my ThinkPad I installed Access Connection and I manage all wireless from there.

    My Task manager still works even with shsxs.dll renamed, although its the "old style one"

    It is simple to get the old version running. Before renaming shsxs.dll open Task Manager and leave it opened. Rename shsxs.dll. Close Task manager. Open it again. Be ready for a short delay before it opens.

    It's like disabling your hands/legs, you can't do anything without it o;

    Exactly. Why move to Windows 8 and disable Metro? Better stay with Windows 7.
