    So... is the consensus that if you are using a generic key with KMS activation, that you will not get the update via the store and will (potentially) have to wait for a ISO release (and maybe a patch?)?

    Is the ISO file size 6MB , 7MB ?

    So... Has anyone found a way to hide the start button from the taskbar yet? (It's a useless waste of real estate when you have both the hot corner and the windows-key available)

    Anyone that has successfully downloaded the update, installed it, and is now downloading the preview that is using another language besides English should chime in to let us know.

    Users in the following languages can install Windows 8.1 Pro Preview

    English
    German
    Russian

    Also users can install 8.1 Pro if they are using WMC.

    The thing that I really wanna know is - anyone using KMS activation got the prompt notification after installation of standalone update obtained from the official site?

    Its possible to do a clean install from store windows 8.1 update (Copying / Saving windows 8.1 update from C:\) Which i have done.


    NOTES:
    Skipping serial input at end of setup.


    Only problem is you need to use email account and password, to finish setup for Desktop / Login.

    I know this is a stupid question but... Does 8.1 have a water mark on the desktop?

    How is this helping? What was the point of the comment? Numerous people are describing the same issue with the WMC added so its obviously MS forgetting to add support.
