    Hi,

    Is anyone having problem with wi fi connection?
    My laptop is unable to connect wifi because of password (26 letters). Because windows 8 does not allow me to type more then 12 letters while typing password of the wi fi connection.

    In the first place, why did you make such a long password? :D

    Tried to format a partition in protogon with 7955 files (thanks ODY123!), doesn't work. Whats the whole point of introducing a feature in one build then ditching it in the next then reintroducing and so on?

    turns out, on windows 8 dev preview, windows live messenger always automatically signs in using the live-id account credentials used to log-on to windows. I want windows live messenger to automatically logon to another hotmail id everytime i open. unlike before, wlm does not remember and save the account you'd last signed in with. how to fix this?

    Don't log into your system with a Live ID, nothing gained from it anyway.

    If you log in using live id, you can use those apps, but those windows apps are not that good anyway.

    You mean Metro Apps? They work with a Local User account too, I stopped using Live IDs and all those little Metro App quirks went away.

    When I use Local User account to log in and click those metro apps, it wouldn't do anything. But those metro apps mostly are useless.

    On initial install of Win 8, I logged in with Live ID.
    Is there a way to change that without re-installing OS?
    I'd like to see the difference w/o the Live ID.
