Is there a Firewall working with Consumer Version ? In last Preview, Comodo Firewall worked, but now you even can't install it . ? Any thought ?
Easy to explain - Windows Firewall is active by default - two software firewalls (any version of Windows) is usually a no-no.
huh another sku founed in cp registry:win8 pro plus cdn.windows8beta.com/wp-content/images/2012/03/Windows8sku.jpg source:windows8beta.com
I understand your point of view, however I am looking for a true firewall two way. Windows firewall is a pain if you want to control outbound connections for applications. There are no alerts allowing you to customize your need.
From Metro page move mouse pointer to upper left corner which should highlight the messages App where you can right click and hit close. It's windows live account so logging is different than closing I think.
Ever tried Windows Firewall Control by Sphinx Software? It is an "addon" for the built-in firewall and allows to control outbound connections. They also have a free version with a functionality that is totally sufficient for what you need. I've been using it already for a couple of years without any problems in w7 (don't know if it works in w8, though, but worth giving a try - if not, they'll certainly update it after the official release).
Yeah. That's the problem. I can't logoff from the Message-, Calendar-App, so i can't logon with another Live-account.
Good question. The Mail App is extremely lacking. You cant manage your mail there nor see your address book, or like you said, see more than the last 20 emails. I added my work email account and it didnt pick up the address book for work IE when typing in an email address it only showed emails from personal email account

I am just wondering what did MS think about enterprise people using metro UI and such a complicated OS. I am very sure they will not upgrade after windows 7 I personally feel who has so much of time in enterprise world to explore this OS coz its very confusing
i'm trying to make chrome default browser chrome too but cannot, its not even appearing in default list of programs for internet, what do i do??
I have run into a few irretating things. I used to be able to double click on a reg file and add the data. Now I have to run regedit as administrator and import the file. Clunky. Another thing, I mapped a network drive to my computer but when I went to copy from it I got a message that the drive may not be available. It then appears to copy the file and I could see the progress bar, but when it finished the file had not been copied. also, In some windows that open when I need to browse to a file the mapped network drive is missing although it is there in explorer. I am slowly wrapping my head around this, but it is sloooow.
