    If you connect it through ethernet you could try to use device manager to update the driver it worked on 7989 for me.

    ok so I don't usually respond to these threads, lol

    here are my 2 cents, haha

    well right after install, tried to run the wei rating, BLUE SCREEN or whatever they call it now, restarted , ran it again, this time it went through

    faster install than 7 or vista on my desktop

    crappy ui, looks like they tried to tailor this os to everyone's tastes, I can see the new tiles being great with touchscreen but not a mouse

    everything seems like a letdown, my 5 year old daughter even remarked what am I doing installing something that looks like that!! lol, oh boy, take that Microsoft for feedback!! LOL

    anyways I will not be keeping it, a very big let down, sorry guys

    It's fast, looks better (like the cleanish look)
    but there are a few downsides... WHY in God's name did they remove the start orb/start button? (and even worse, the start menu)... They want dev's to use it, i concider it rubbish as i'm not going to use the metro thingy that fills the hole screen every time i need a program, etc...

    Im almost done installing but I was watching some videos that have already been posted and I tell you what....people may have reservations about using this on a PC, but I dont think there is any doubt how bad azz this will be on a tablet.

    I still have hopes that this is going to work out fine even on a PC. People just have to get use to a few changes. They arent even that drastic, and I still cant figure out why some people go so insane over a missing Start button. THough, chances are, they might just throw that back in there before RTM if that many of you are upset about it.

    Remember, its still a Beta with months and months before it hits RTM.

    Damm this release really sucks for me...

    I miss all the DP apps (hope they come later)
    The color scheme with WDP was 10x beter then WCP! Where the hek is this?
    Cataylst is not working.
    I can't scroll anymore while holding the left mouse button (I know it is not touch, but this is better then robot scrolling with the mouse wheel!)
    I hate the new boot screen and the fish, anyone have a knive?

    Othere thinks are just the same (at least for me) but these 3 (well 2 realy, if you don't count nmbr 4) makes WCP bad for me...

    ps get used to hitting the WIN + C combo. You will love it ;)
