    I don't think the Metro CP has a tile in WCP, just click the Settings charm and press 'More PC settings' on the bottom right

    Can't install it on a GPT disk.
    I have lion dual booted to windows developer preview currently but cant get the consumer preview to install on the the GPT partitioned disk using the same method as develepor preview .All I get is that windows can't be installed as the selected disk is of GPT partition style.I thought from 7 windows at least x64 bit supported GPT disks.
    i am trying Win 8 CP 64 bit.
    What am i doin wrong,any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Well the develepor preview installs fine on GPT,all one's got to do is assign letter C to the win partition?
    Then why CP fails?

    I know this is beta but MS should've included an interactive tutorial. There are some big changes and people are fumbling around trying to figure it out. They better include on for the official release. Including one here would've been nice because people are getting their first taste and some may get frustrated and say screw it and give up on Win 8

    Lockscreen can be bypassed at wakeup by going to power settings, require password on wakeup, change settings and select no password required.

    Windows 8 and .Net

    Why doesn't MS install .net in the base release of W8? I have several products that require it and I have to install every time I clean install. Would save time.....
