    Yes, if you are not connected to internet when OOBE appears.

    If you are using iso to install to a blank hd, do you need a key?

    agree

    it feels spongy for me too, uses more RAM than windows8 ... after the first 4 updates it got a little bit better

    its a new one, give it time for everyone to get it. Instant satisfaction is DDL from a server :biggrin: 1,000,000 peers and 1 seeder hahaa. It will even out eventually.

    There absolutely is something wrong with vmware workstation 9 and this 8.1 preview. Too slow; it slows the whole system and the other vm running. I tried to share a folder in the 8.1 vm and access it from the host os and the copy it's suuuuper slow and it stucks at very beginning. Btw: are the new search system (as they showed to the conference) and the animated background not present in this build right?

    No problems here with Workstation 9.0.0 build-812388, no difference to Win 8 so far.

    @EFA11

    Same hardware config for the Win8 VM: 2GB RAM and 1 core from my core i5 3570k. Give it a try and report back your experience! ;)

    I was activated through KMS and then with the free emailed media center upgrade. I lost activation, and used the microKMS, but I don't have the personalization settings. Has anybody else lost the personalization settings? I cant even change color themes for metro!

    already found a bug with snapping, some apps won't work when snapped like 8zip app, pressplay and even skype
