Try it again, there was some problems with getting the e-mail for some people.

Well you can now count me in the Windows 8 Club

I hated Windows 8 when I tried it on the preview but spending some real time working around the in's and out's I find it to be pretty sweet and overall an improvement on the usability of the user.

TRWOV · Oct 30, 2012, 05:10 PM

Wow! W8 Media Center supports blu-ray natively. Arcsoft can't be pleased by this... I think I'll move W8 over to my HTPC.

Kalevalen · Oct 30, 2012, 05:33 PM

I can tell you right now that no version of Windows 8 that includes DVD (or Blu-Ray) playback capabilities. If u want to play these disks in Windows 8 you must have third party software.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer shared some statistics at the annual Build developer conference, citing that 4 million Windows users have already upgraded their operating systems since it was launched late last week.

Well now nobody can say that W8 flopped.

Have you guys seen the Asus Taichi Ultrabook/Tablet? I want one!

james888 · Oct 30, 2012, 06:50 PM

I got windows 8 on my laptop. It definitely is faster than 7. I feel like I am constantly fighting it though. Most of that I guess is because the OS is barely a week since release. Windows 8 screen brightness settings for my screen are completely different than 7. I probably got 4 settings instead of 10 now. No big deal. I am still trying to get my finger scanner working for login too.

MxPhenom 216 · Oct 30, 2012, 06:53 PM

Windows 8 is just a pretty good OS, but allows innovation in the hardware we see coming in the next few weeks. I mean check out the Asus Taichi I posted. That thing will do it all! And you can run an Ivy Bridge Intel i7 in it! fricking sweet! I want to ditch my Toshiba laptop for one.

Oh poop silly me ,your talking about the arm/tab/netbook thing above....But still I thought 8 had no support for 4000 cards.

Just took a closer look at Taichi. It really is outstanding. Full HD IPS... Win 8 should shine on this piece of tech. Unfortunately will be way out of my price range. Now, what happens when you forget to switch off the back display while you're enjoying some porn in a, let's say, slightly crowded environment?

haha! Thats sick.

You shouldn't be watching porn in public anyways!

Im interested to know the price as well. Atleast for the i5 version as my friends mom is looking to get a laptop, and I told her about these ultrabook/tablet hybrids and she wants one.

Crap Daddy · Oct 30, 2012, 10:44 PM

These guys are not overly excited. Look at the price (UK):

I'm getting high CPU usage from "microsoft windows search filter host" and it won't let me end the process, How do I fix this?

That shouldn't happen because search in Windows 8 is much more optimized than W7 or Vista search. But if it causes troubles then disable Windows Search and indexing. If you never search files then disabling this service is nobrainer.

W8 Security: What's New? Good article here's some snippet:

Quote:

Loading the AV First
Regardless of whether you are using Windows Defender or a different anti-malware product, Windows 8 has tweaked its load process so that security software runs first. Early Launch Anti-Malware (ELAM) insures that the first software driver loaded into Windows 8 is a driver from the user's anti-malware software.
In previous versions, if the malware executed and was loaded into system memory before the operating system and the antivirus, it was difficult to detect and remove. SecureBoot prevents rootkits from interfering with the OS, and ELAM ensures that pre-approved anti-malware software drivers are loaded before any other application.

Like they sais it sounds "fundamentally sound".
