    All good!
    Tried again using the virtual keyboard that present in the install routine and it worked.
    Although everything looked o.k. with the keys I typed from the host keyboard to the virutal machine, there must have been some kind of character code misinterpretation or extra spacing I missed.

    Man, Windows 8 installs and sets up very fast. The UI is a bit to get used to, but Classic shell helps out by bringing back the start menu.
    I personally got my ISOs through MSDN, but haven't activated them yet because of poor video playback and driver issues with my laptop.
    Have any of you experienced problems with flash video playback on Radeon graphics cards or AMD APU chips?

    Do these versions also include Volume License?

    YOU decide during installation by using the appropriate key, which version will come out at the end :p

    So en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso is the final release of 8 pro, or is there another step to go from RT to Pro?

    I have a Pro Key from my uni's Dreamspark account, I just need a disk image.

    It is not the final version of just pro but of Windows 8. RT is a totally different platform used on ARM based machines.
    To find an image, use search or go to page 1 of this thread and have fun.
    Btw, your dreamspark account lets you download an iso at their homepage

    So Windows 8 and Pro are on the same disk image, it just depends on the key you use?

    Yes, Core and Pro are on the same image. Depending on the key determines what is installed.

    Exactly, cause the Intel's version is OpenGL compatible, but Windows Update version isn't.

    Noop, Intel's latest driver complies with WDDM 1.1. 8 requires WDDM 1.2, but backward compatible. Intel has officially stopped supporting that video card for Windows 8. Thus you have to use the latest Windows 7 driver to enable OpenGL & other settings.

    Core and Professional are parts of the same ISO, depends on the key or ei.cfg which version is installed :D.

    Hi there..
    can somebody tell me where I can download Windows 8 64 bit final? Not RTM...I contacted MS custumer service in my country and they told me that i can't find it anywhere if somebody doesn't have own disc :(
    But I need it because I bought laptop with windows 8 64 bit installed, and I did something stupid and lost OS (and was delete recovery partition befor that) o_O
    So...need this OS to put it back on my laptop. I don't need any activators or something like that.

    Thank you :)
