Hell no. But it's not quite that bad. RP is from May 19th. They would have already shifted to the RTM branch sometime before that, probably a couple weeks. So that's May, June, and most of July (Wzor said something about the RTM process extending to the 19th or so, I think, which is tentative). After that, only the techies like us will see it anytime soon (for W7, it came out on Technet a couple weeks later, in August), and most of the public won't see it until October-ish, if MS maintains the epic 3-month gap between RTM and retail that they did for W7. This gives OEMs a lot of time to ready their systems, and more importantly, allows MS to load up Windows Update with important fixes. In a way, you could say that most people will see a W8 that's 5-6 months (May-October) better than what we see now. Hey, I thought I'd look on the bright side just for once.
Wow,is it me or does comodo dragon just love win8RC,it is freaking fast on my laptop!! Really smooth and responsive web surfing will use until it crashes
Google chrome with 15+ tabs is working fine here. Different people across different forums have shown numerous different kinds of problems in Windows 8 RP, like right click menu doesn’t work, metro app crashes especially IE, video not playing, chrome not working, system slowdown to crawl, …., etc., etc. It is very strange that I had never a single problem like that even with CP, even though I installed CP/RP on different hardware including desktops and notebooks. I customize Windows features by turning a few on, few others off, adjust startup items and services, modify local security policies, as well as group policies. Currently, I am using Windows 8 RP as my main system with setting adjustments like mentioned previously and there is no single issue except very very few annoyances which will be fixed in RTM, i.e., system restore get enabled automatically even after disabling it (solution: disabled it via gpedit) and notebook Bluetooth driver is picky (OEM replied that updated driver will be available soon). Currently, No other single problem, just fast and connected experience.
You might have to do it the old-fashioned way and look in the BIOS. I thought AIDA64 might be the ticket, but while it shows EIST right it's not good with C States.
I have a bug on weather apps. it's on other language... I downloaded 32bit english iso without language pack. .
You could try this: Go to Control Panel ==> Clock, Language and Region ==> Region ==> select the tab 'Administrative' Then select 'Change system locale' and make sure it is set to 'English - United States'
