    When I said final release, it doesn't mean final version, it's just the final release that will hit MSDN.

    Build 9600.17031 is not likely RTM, it is RTM, remember last Aug. win8.1 hit RTM on 9600.16384, MSDN had this version posted, but prior to GA they posted a 2nd time, RTM slipstreamed with rollupA.

    No comment on MJF/PT, I once asked my friend about their "reports", his remark was "LOL, loads of crap"(I remmeber canouna AKA NTmartha made some similar remarks too). :D

    I no longer trust any ISO or update unless I download it from the Microsoft servers. RTM used to be a heavy word in the past. RTM = Release to Manufacturing was actually the real final deal. Now it means nothing, nothing more than a beta. Perhaps RC should be the name not RTM :crystal:

    I cannot confirm this behaviour.

    E.G. "Weather"-App: Mouse at bottom of screen. Scroll downwards moves app Window to the left. No taskbar pop-up.

    Point the mouse at the top edge of the screen, and then quickly pull it (swipe it) to the bottom edge

    I know the difference of pointing and clicking but nothing happens here. Only thing which shows is the start button when pointing to lower left corner in an app like Weather for example

    @PaulDesmond: Same here - nothing happens (except start button appears when pointing to lower left corner).

    For everyone having issues with the taskbar not popping up: Make sure this option is checked or it won't work!

    You can also press WINKEY + T to bring up the taskbar;)

    It does work. Please try pointing at the bottom edge of your screen somewhere in the Middle of your screen(not corners) :eek:
    I'm using it on my laptop & all i have to do to get the taskbar is to put the mouse at the bottom edge & scroll downwards on my trackpad. must be something similar for a normal mouse!?

    could you try putting the mouse at bottom edge & then try dragging it even further below? does that work?
    perhaps my english is not good enough to explain properly! :confused:

    Edit: See post above.
    Looks like i did manage to get my point across :)

    Not for me - nothing happens.
    Scrolling with the wheel move the app left or right.
    Maybe I have a dumb mouse...:D
