Seems like I can't get get WinStore to work, tried 9200 x64 winstore and 9364 hack and it didn't worked the app just refuses to open(opens and instantly closes), there's any way to get it working?
ok, so I installed this build on my local Windows 8 Hyper-V. The display is wonky. Note the weird areas where the window sizing buttons are supposed to be. They flicker if I mouse over them. And the calculator, it's just insane.
Please could someone go to html5test.com using IE11 in this build and paste the score information here.
im sure this was answered, but is there a way to activate this so all the personal features become unlocked?
Apparently SOME sites don't recognize this as being IE10 - the XFINITY (Comcast portal) site bounces like a basketball from this build, but works just fine with IE10 from 8. The latest version of Firefox installs and works just fine, as does Office 2013. Other weirdness: this build installs without quibbles in vmWare Workstation 9.0.2 or Hyper-V 3.x (Server 2012), but fails using Windows 8 settings in the current Oracle VirtualBox. Settings are the same (2GB RAM, 127 GB drive space). Host is either 8 ProWMC (VMware) or Server 2012 Standard (Hyper-V); host HW is Intel Q6600 (Kentsfield), ASUS P5G41M-LX2 mobo, 4GB DDR2 RAM.
Apparently they have done more x64 optimization since 8's RTM (though I didn't go that low RAM-wise). I stayed at my usual 2 GB settings for x64 VM initial testing, and added Hyper-V guest testing to the mix. I wanted to do as usual and test across VMware, Oracle VirtualBox, and Hyper-V - however, attempts to boot the image in Oracle VB failed miserably using Windows 8 settings; I may re-attempt using Windows 7 x64 guest settings. Tried with Windows 7 settings in Oracle VirtualBox - no go. Apparently there is something in this image that OVB despises (but VMware and Hyper-V have no issues with). I would have been surprised in Windows 8 Hyper-V had ANY issues, since Server 2012 (with lower hardware requirements, but the SAME product) didn't.
When adding more ram in VMware the system even shows a lot more power than before. I checked with older versions and felt a dramatic step forward. It's the kernel? ... or the other glass of wine
Just an FYI for everyone, start8 1.15 works perfectly on this build. Installed it just for kicks and was extremely surprised to see it work.
Not shure what you expected...but there are several changes, even optical ones, as they implemented more options to customize start screen. Worst thing for me so far, they removed the start menu code StartIsBack was using. Finally the death sentence for installing on a real machine here.
