    I just tried that method, and it does not activate my Windows 8 Enterprise RTM.

    The only way is to find a way to activate the System.
    I've found out now how to Change the start Screen Picture in the registry, but this only works on an activated System. So there is no other way than activating it.

    No, you can only chosse one from the 20 Patterns, but only if the System is activated.

    :D my system is activated and i can choose from 20 patterns +colors anyway so no need for registry ..... and looking for ways to change it and boot screen.

    Windows 8 is fast and works well on my Lenovo S10e with touchscreen (only thing that does not work is split screen drag'n drop for multiple sceens)

    Quickest way is Metro UI > Click user picture top right > change account picture > on that new screen change the tab to Start Screen and choose patterns from there

    Just that i do understand it on the right wayo_O. The new kms activation method it will do activate the System just only for 180 day, but not forever. I am right?o_O:unsure: There is not yet any method out there for activate Win8 forever?
