    Anyone able to get Bing desktop to work with the RP. I put the bing folder in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\BingDesktop location and ran it in Win7 mode with admin priv. but the wallpapers don't change. The changing wallpapers is really the only reason why I like it. The bing search bar shows up but not the changing wallpapers.

    Release Preview is beautiful!

    Faster yet, new UI, no graphic issues in Firefox, everything works perfect so far.

    BTW Classic Start works fine with RP.

    If you full screen media center on a 2nd monitor, your mouse is unable to leave it.

    I found it very surprising that many people got problems of starting apps or anything else what is mentioned.
    Got myself not a single problem and runs smoothly here.

    For these who do experience problems would I suggest to install the Release Preview again, something must be going wrong.
    Download the ISO from official links and nowhere else to ensure it's stable. It may also help if you run the setup.exe found in the sources folder instead of on the main folder from the ISO.

    Little Off Topic (maybe):
    Someone knows how to run Minecraft on Release Preview with Intel HD 3000 Beta Driver?

    On Back Pages one guy mentioned that installing Intel Chipset Driver fixed its Opera crashing issue. Do try it..

    For nvidia folks:
    New drivers will be released next week as per nvidia blog..

    Has to be something else. Got myself i5 on notebook with Nvidia graphics and can load youtube videos.
    Maybe try to install the 301.42 Nvidia drivers of Windows 7, I got these installed myself.
