Hi all!
I've been using Windows 8 RTM for a few days now and I'm finding quite a few deal breakers. The first thing is that I cannot find a backup function. I've googled the hell out of it using different key words and there are articles that claim that I can use the old backup tool but no word on where the hell it is. I'm fed up looking for it.
The other thing is that I've changed my windows live password and now I can't log into skydrive. It just gives a general error about checking my network settings and no option to re-enter my login information. So no skydrive for me I guess.
My mouse has been giving me issues too. I've had to reboot a number of times to get it to scroll properly. It will work a short time and then I have to scroll like hell just to move down a couple of lines.
Reboots are taking forever too. It takes a good minute longer to reboot on Win 8 then it ever did on Win 7. I suspect driver issues, but I'm too lazy to go searching through the mire of interface that Windows 8 has to find an answer.
There is more. But I don't want to start sounding like a raving lunatic. I'm just fed up with it is all. I'm glad I did a backup of my windows 7 set up before I installed windows 8. I'm going to revert to Windows 7 now.
May your installations go better than mine!
