    OK, installed, it seems to work ok but..

    2 quick questions..

    1) This thing does not have 'Gadgets', who I do install it? I copied from the CP but not working; I'd like to have the weather and clock there (on desktop).
    2) How do you turn transparency on the windows border like the CP had? I can find how...

    Now to start installing software.. and if everything I use still works..

    cheers!

    They remove Aero and Gadgets. If you want weather display in Desktop you will have to look at third party software such as rainmeter if they work in W8 Enterprise N.

    thank god for nzb :) What is good about this enterprise edition? I hear that the post above did not include aero or gadgets so are we losing all the eye candy? If so I will rather wait for the ultimate edition leaked on august 15th!

    Yes, thank you..I knew that, I am looking for a way to put them back, honestly the flat color on the border (no matter what color) is terrible, it reminds me Windows 3.1!! ugh! the CP was fine because it had the lite aero and it looked nice...

    The gadget folder still exists under the rtm (C:\program files) but the inside files are missing so I think it should be a way to register the files back...

    Welcome to Windows 8 lol. There is no longer Aero in any version. There is also no Ultimate edition. 90% of the people in this thread haven't been reading very much about this OS.

    I guessed they either rush this RTM out the door or left room for it for people who wants to continue to use it?

    Try this (my fix):

    1. Create text file
    2. Write this into file
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"OpenGLVendorName"=hex(7):61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,36,00,61,00,78,00,78,00,2e,\
  00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00,61,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,36,00,61,00,78,00,78,00,\
  2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,00,00,00,00,00
    3. Save
    4. Rename file to patch.reg
    5. Run this file
    6. ENJOY
