    Flash player freezes...

    Use Chrome. I just made the switch after YEARS on Firefox.

    Couldn't get MSI Afterburner to overclock at first. Had to move up in 5-10 increments.

    I just spotted the issue myself, turns out the Microsoft nVidia drivers do not include OpenGL support, simple download the drivers for your graphics card (they will still be beta drivers) and you'll get Angry Birds to fly.

    ----------------

    I am also getting watermarked "Activate Windows" on the top layer of my screen (shows over all windows & Metro), it took 2 hours for it to appear for me once I'd logged in to my MSN account instead of a local one. The install went smoothly and VERY fast. They've fixed the early USB hardware crash I was getting in RP. Very happy with how zippy it feels to use.

    I am finally used to metro and only ever see it when I first boot up my PC, the rest of my time is spent on the desktop, at least until I get a touch device and Metro makes more sense to use.

    I'll be upgrading my 7 License to 8 once MS allow it, just need my OS to stay usable until then :D, of cause I'll stop using my licensed version once we have an alternative activation method, it's easier to automate the daz loader in 7 than to mess about with a key etc.

    It didn't include my Netgear N USB Adapter drivers, which I find rude as having the internet during install is most important and Netgear is the leading brand :p Looks like I'll be building a custom Win 8 once all this is ready. 8 IS worth the time, I'd pick it over 7 now.

    Ran a MSI Kombuster video test, and the numbers showed a 8% increase with Windows 8 Ent. over the Windows 8 CP. Same beta (304.79) Nvidia drivers and clean install.

    Me likey.

    Same driver settings (anti-aliasing etc?) ;). Video tests are one thing, it's whether it translates into an 8 percent boost in games that counts!
