Overpriced, pure and simple. Very few people will be buying this, regardless of the battery life. It's astonishing to see how M$ keep shooting themself in the foot.

Some government organisations in The Netherlands, like the one I work at, are still running Windows XP, Office 2003 and IE6. Talk about taking security seriously! I don't think they have any plans to upgrade to either Windows 7 or 8 and don't see the need to upgrade to the latest IE browser...

And it's goodbye Real Player with Windows 8 Final. It still does not work properly. UI freezes, the UI goes in to what was called basic non-aero mode in Windows 7 [see above screenshot: blue bar at top instead of correct system colour] and it manages to completely mess up the taskbar [other...

The Microsoft Lifecam Studio works fine with Windows 8. Full 1080p HD Microsoft Webcam: LifeCam Studio | Microsoft Hardware

The latest version of Real Player still seems to be incompatible with Windows 8. Every time I use it for any length of time it just breaks. Windows 8 It freezes, no information is to be seen on the page and also note the blue bar at the top of the screen instead of the selected system colour...

The freezing issue seems to have been resolved with the hotfix. The latest version of Real Player still seems to be incompatible with Windows 8. Every time I use it for any length of time it just breaks. Windows 8 It freezes, no information is to be seen on the page and also note the blue bar...

I've just noticed this post. I'll start reusing Real Player's latest version [Plus] to see if that fixes the problem I was having with freezing.

I am using Real Player's 'Plus' version btw.

It's definitely the current version Real Player in my case causing problems. As a test, I spent the entire evening yesterday listening to music using WMP instead of RP. Not one freeze. Then, I switched over to Real Player. Within 5 minutes of using Real Player the system froze. After...

RAM seems fine on the board. I've never had any problems with it. The rest of the system seems to be running fine.

I've set the BIOS to 'Enhanced'. This is what is listed in Device Manager: Well, I've been monitoring my system. The freezing occurs only when Real Player v.15.0.4.53 is in use. As far as I can see, no other programme is causing freezing. Mouse moves fine yet nothing can be opened or...

The main OS is on the SSD. It's not partitioned and there is nothing else on it. I have 2 internal HDD drives and 2 external HDD's. All are linked up to the SATA ports. I am not running a RAID setup and the SSD is attached to the first SATA port. In the BIOS, AHCI is set to 'compatibility'...

Still getting freezing issues, I do have the most up to date Intel Rapid Storage Drivers installed. I installed them during my Win8 install. I also have the latest firmware for my SSD installed, using the OCZ Toolbox. I'll have a look in the BIOS settings of my Asus P5Q SE Plus motherboard...

Opera 12 Final Release also seems to cause freezing.

I recently installed Win8 RP on to a brand new OCZ 128Gb Vertex 4 SSD (using AHCI enabled in the BIOS), before I had it installed on a HDD (only IDE was enabled in the BIOS). When running Win8 RP on the HDD I had no freezing issues at all. On the SSD it was a different story, nothing but...

Is that the 'My First Toy PC' market you're talking about? I hear Fisher Price absolutely love the Metro UI. Business 'aint interested in it, even MS accept that, and, nobody that I've let had a go on it wants to touch it with a barge pole. They all seem to hate Metro and will not be buying...

A tutorial, no doubt, written by the dummies that have designed the Windows 8 Metro UI.

The underlying OS is good but the desktop experience is a lesson in bad design. An example: An operating system that requires most new users on a desktop to do a Google search in order to find out how to shut the damn thing down is simple bad design. There is no other way you can describe it...

This problem seems to have sorted itself out. A problem with the MS servers in my region? Possibly.

Antivirus - ESET NOD32 Antivirus HIPS does not work in Windows 8 in Nod32. They are aware it.
