    Not likely to have been released yet, since the CP is only hours old. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

    oh snap, i burned the iso on my usb using the windows usb\dvd download.... and now my dvd player cant read the usb, how can i fix the usb now?
    it says it cant read the file on the usb... but when i trying the file with another usb, it works..
    my usb never gave that massage until i burned windows 8 on him.

    edit:
    never mind, i did a research on google about that, and i've fixed it... i just needed to download program that allow me to format the usb in many other format boot.

    Is there any way to stretch the pdf to fit width page- otherwise its more like a ebook thing. Also, whats the best way to "close" apps, I found in task manager they're still running and eating memory after I've moved on.

    Hey guys,

    There's a bug in Windows Consumer Preview, that if you create an account using your Windows Live ID, and your password has more than 16 characters, the next time you need to log in, you will be unable to do it.

    Why ? Because there's a 16 characters limit. For example:

    Let me example, if you created your account with the password: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxwyz

    The next time you want to login, you must input the following password: abcdefghijklmnop (because of the 16 characters password limit).

    And sadly it works, it's a very serious bug, and I hope anyone can report it to Microsoft or please give me a link to do it.

    Thanks

    Back out of the app you want to close (go to Start or Desktop), then move your mouse to the top Left of the screen, now any open apps should show, just Right click on it & then click "Close" ;)

    I was surprised that all the information that Canouna revealed about the Windows 8 beta was real. Also the info about build 8250 was real too plus the screenshots from an earlier build of the Consumer Preview leaked by PCbeta were real too! We can trust all these sources in the future! Windows 8 rocks!
