    Installed the x86 on a spare PC and is it just me or do NONE of the Metro apps work at all? Are they even installed? I can click on all of them until I'm blue in the face and get nothing. Only the IE, Windows Explorer, Control Panel, and Desktop buttons do anything.

    Also, while on the desktop, how the frak do I get the NORMAL start menu items to show? I don't want to go to the Metro UI once at the desktop!

    @Orbit, which Metro apps does x86 install? Are they the sample apps or just ones that will come with Windows?

    Loaded up in a VM now and and clicked a random app (Alarms). Uh, how do you close the app to get back to the Start screen (non-touch system)?

    Edit: I guess something is supposed to flare up on one of the screen edges, but nothing ever does in HyperV. Not even the bar on the right.

    This build is freaking good! I can now watch 1080p video with my 1.6Ghz Atom CPU that I couldn't with Windows 7. Should I worry about TRIM for this build or optimize it for SSD?

    Working great but I dont really care that the start button takes you back from desktop to metro.

    Someone was able to install a printer? The "Add devices and printer" is searching for devices forever and no option to skip it is available.
