    Thanks for the quick app NaiveUser, now I need to figure out how to get the default start menu, I've seen its easy with a registry tweak, if the default start menu is the normal one, I won't need the program but will keep it handy cause I want to play with this new start menu after awhile.

    I would strongly suggest using Vmware or VirtualBox for the ones that aren't geeks and windows experts, you never know how the system could react on a regular machine, I wouldn't trust it to use for my main OS, its cool to test it out, but not a good idea because even if this version is officially released by Microsoft, a load of drivers and programs aren't compatible yet with the Windows 8 platform.

    How do you snap 2 apps? I keep seeing it in like, reviews of the developer preview, that you can snap two apps, one to the left and one to the right or whatever, by dragging from the side, but for me that just replaces the current full-screen app. I have no idea how to do it :/ any help?

    That doesn't work, when I drag from the left side, no matter where/when I release the mouse, it's just like I've asked to switch to that app and that app only.
