    I would prefer a clearly defined use of "alpha", "beta", "rc", and "production" from the mind of microsoft.

    You need OpenGL compatible driver :)

    Installed Intel GMA Driver from Windows Update, still the same error. I'm running Windows 8 from VHD, is it because of that? :D

    Noop, cause the driver came from Windows Update isn't an OpenGL driver; waiting for Intel's release :rolleyes:

    Thanks, I didn't know that! I uninstalled that driver and installed the Intel Win7 driver, now it works! :D

    The feature is an enhancement on the Windows Image Burner (from 7 and Vista) and is active by default - double-clicking an ISO mounts them (there's also a context menu in Windows Explorer for ISOs). You can still use other ISO burning utilities (such as ImgBurn) for really finicky/picky ISOs or media. Any Metro app will auto-close after several minutes in the background - some DO close in the traditional manner (Alt+F4); I think that it's more depending on if the app has a close/exit function built in.

    hello... i would like to know how i can change the start screen background color and charms bar background color to black. I tried using the "My WCP Start Screen Customizer", but upon using it, it breaks my metro apps like remote desktop and i end up reinstalling windows. tried it twice - on my macbookpro as well as my acer iconia tab.. remote desktop metro app breaks as soon as i apply color settings on the customizer app i mentioned above. so please suggest a way to change the color to black, by hex editing some resource file or something, without having any impact on any metro apps.

    thanks.

    Just my opinion.
    Windows 8 is not the future. My experience so far is 2 steps back in the past.

    7989 wasnt leaked by zuko, wzor, or china.
    Also, the right conditions need to be met for a leak to happen without anyone getting fired, such as the case with the 7989 leaker not being fired.
