    Has anyone tried Nortons on Windows Preview. I tried to install normally but it would not. Had to use Compat mode. Worked then. But it sometimes slows my system down. Anyone have the same problem.
    Thanks

    question: how to restore default dualboot manager that was created by Windows 8? I edited it with EasyBCD from Windows 7 and It was turned to "old" dualboot menu.

    regards!

    Given our problems with Win8 I found the following:
    - If, at the time of OS installation login as a user I Live METRO works 100%
    - But if I login as local user but I METRO does not work

    Does anyone agree to my findings, ie. METRO why not work if I sign up as a local user? Thank you!

    They compiled already other language builds? Wow! I thought language packs in that early phase.

    Canouna: "I download all iso I can found on MS Server, JP, DE, EN, ect ect..."
    Do you try out every Build you have download? :D

    By the way you said in early builds, you could change the colour of the ribbon.
    Do you have a screenhshot or al did you already delete this installation?

    More like the other way around. Here is what I posted at BA yesterday :
    I think there is a problem; when you sync more than one PC or reinstall using the same Live ID. If you install and set up with a Live ID during OOBE most of the apps that you have to configure won't work, but if you use a local account during OOBE, set up all your apps and then change to a Live ID; everything works. For example Metro RDP won't connect to clients because it tries to logon silently using the Live ID and the Metro RDP app doesn't do anything when you enter the remote PC name. On the other hand if you use it while still on the local account it connects fine, prompts for user, pw and cert and continues working after switching to a Live ID. This is my third of fourth machine/reinstall and I've seen this happen every time I forget to set up one of the apps before switching to my Live ID. So they have to sort that out and I would say it would be nice if you could disassociate your Live ID from your PC.

    ReelFiles Can you write a manual how to login after OS installation, it then has no problems with the operation of Metro.

    Here's a video I made of the Local Account creation during OOBE
    skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=e1d4f9fb4ef13ee1&page=play&resid=E1D4F9FB4EF13EE1!314

    ADD "https://" to the beginning of the url for it to work.
