    Hated the silly UI at bootup and didn't like the new Task Manager but after renaming shsxs.dll I got the old desktop & Task Manager back just like in Win7. COMODO Internet Security 3.11 x64 works but not Comodo Firewall 5.0 x64. Symantec Corp 10.2 x64 (from 2006!) works if you install LUSETUP.exe FIRST. CCleaner 3.0 x64 installed w/o any problems. Firefox Aurora 8.0 x64 has no problem getting online. The only one problem was Netgear wifi usb so I had to manually install it. All of this on Win8 Dev Ed. x64. :D

    Anybody know what's in KB2614194 (10.4mb update)?

    Find a torrent for the exact same ISO and choose the same folder your ISO is in, so the client loads the .iso, this will allow you to Correct the iso to how its suppoed to be ;P

    Check the new Control Panel through the MetroUI. it has the option to reset Windows 8 DP without losing anything.
