    I found something right now: the store application does not work in my laptop because is extended only in US .and when you close weather application you must close that from task manager if not,cpu will be loaded to 100%

    That weather app should go to suspend mode if you not on it. I believe the Wav file in the background is memory intensive if you have 2gbs or less on your system. It's beautiful. But no really necessary to have motion video loop behind you temperature information. If they can make it less memory/CPU intensive, by all mean keep it in. But to me this reminds me of the motion desktop issues in Windows Vista ultimate. don't see that surviving beta stage if it remain the way it is now. :ninja_hide:

    On my 2011 MacBook Pro everything works except sound for some reason. I used BootCamp Drivers that came with my Mac. So dunno what you are doing wrong....:wacko:

    The store is disabled everywhere.
    The Apps and Metro itself is glitchy in this WDP, sometimes you can't even switch to suspended apps (but you should be able to) and other random bugs and stuff

    Anyways, im getting used to win8, theres bugs of course but its been great, and I like the new UI minor changes on the classic desktop. Like the borders around the windows are smaller and square now :)

    Ribbon, I think it works, you dnt like, hide it!

    The new transfer file windows its pretty nice!

    Lets just wait for people toi start creating apps for the Metro part!

    Have fun
