To shutdown Win8, you can also do ctrl-alt-del and click the power indicator.

For those people that are really bothered by the Start button being removed from the desktop, you can install the excellent Start8 from Stardock. This will restore the Start button on the desktop. There are other similar utilities from other companies, but I really liked this one as it works...

I was just curious. Ok to ask no?

For anyone else interested, I found the following: Keeping Your Microsoft Account Secure For more reading, see this blog from Microsoft: Keeping your Microsoft account more secure

LOL. And why is that?

I don't agree that Windows 8 will be a flop. I think it will do very well, especially considering it has sold 4 million copies already (well, according to Microsoft anyway). I've used it from the consumer preview, and have been very satisfied. Windows 8 is the best of XP and Windows 7, and...

I tried to dig up some info on this online, but couldn't really find anything. Right now I am not using a Microsoft account to login to Windows 8. But I do like the idea of being able to login with one, and have settings like my browser bookmarks and history, along with other settings synced...

I like the new task manager too, although I still really like Process Hacker (which works great with W8). I really like the W-x shortcut, and find that very handy. Very easy and fast to switch between Start screen and Desktop. I like the fact that the tablet UI is accessible to me, which...

Excellent feedback to hear, thanks Coke Robot!

Hello Dave76 and thanks!

Thanks A Guy and greetings.

Nice one, thanks mdmd.

please delete....

Thanks Brink, I will be setting up an id there as well!

Once you get a little more accustomed to Win8, believe me you will be zipping back and forth easily. Try this when you feel "boxed in" : - press Alt-Tab - when in Desktop, hover mouse pointer to bottom left corner to switch to Start screen - when in Start screen, hover mouse pointer to bottom...

So much for point releases. They just round up to the next whole number now.

Glad to be here Hi all I am new here. I really like this forum, I think this will be a great resource in learning Win8, sharing knowledge and troubleshooting issues. I have a question - is this site and sevenforums.com forums run by the same people and will my id work on both forums? I...

I like that black theme. Where did you get that wallpaper from? :D

Great thread, thanks for the tutorial. I followed this to install Windows 8 RP on VMware Player 4.0.3 build-703057 (latest Linux version installed on CentOS 6). Under VirtualBox, I kept getting interrmitent hangs, more often than not, when booting Windows 8. This happenned on both CP and RP...
