Of course those of us who find metro a a hindrance to serious work can continue with win7 if MS/others do not provide/come up with a way to disable it.

What the heck are you trying to do? If you read the commands you have typed into diskpart, you'll find you're trying to expand the PQService partition- expand into what? Thin air? FYI, PQService is the Acer recovery partition, if you fiddle with it, it may become unusable. Did you make a set of...

Enjoy them while they last, you wont have them in rtm.

Very picturesque, I get only frozen tooltips.

In the non-immersive IE 10, I've experienced lock ups and could not load page errors.

MS actually spent a fortune including drivers in win7, you would have noticed win7 installs a lot of drivers out of the box. But theres simply too much diverse hardware out there to include everything.

Thats because its all identical Apple hardware. MS doesn't make the hardware windows is installed on.

When did I say that? But remember in SF we do advise people to keep other hard drives disconnected during install because of windows proclivity to place boot files on other disks. And again this is WDP, not RTM.

I think its a matter of assumptions. MS made the right assumption that somebody who was trying to install WDP on an unformatted hard disk would probably prefer everything done for them. One is free to partition per choice, then install. Different strokes for different folks.

Facts will not change because you don't believe me. Office Starter 2010 is NOT available for purchase, it only comes preinstalled. Where did you get the installation file from?

See this thread, scroll down. There are some solutions suggested including a reg tweak, try those. windows vista the audio service is not running

Short answer- you cant. Long answer- Starter is only for win7. More importantly, Starter is legally usable only when it comes preinstalled on oem computers preinstalled with win7. So you're also breaching the eula.

Double click windows audio service in the services console, click Log On, select "This account", type "NT AUTHORITY\LocalService" without quotes into the box (let the password blank).

This is what the ceip collects. •Configuration Data (Hardware, Operating System, Feature configuration) •Performance and Reliability Data (Application response times, connection speed, what caused an application to crash) •Program use (the things you do with an application, but not the data...

laxman, you can verify the iso. First of all, here are the hashes of the various WDP distributions: Windows 8 Developer Preview English, 64-bit (x64) Sha 1 hash – 79DBF235FD49F5C1C8F8C04E24BDE6E1D04DA1E9 Windows 8 Developer Preview English, 32-bit (x86) Sha 1 hash –...

WDP isn't fully functional either lol. But yes, why release wdp publicly? Probably to create a buzz about metro ui and maybe push win7 phone sales.

Smartscreen has been a part of IE for a while in case folks haven't noticed. The idea is to now make it OS wide. Hopefully in the beta onwards, it should be disable-able though this should not be seen as a recommendation to disable it. You can set it to require admin approval or just give a...

Mike, if the shell32.dll.mui is modified, you'll end up with that build string on the desktop.

WHS, don't worry, stranger things have happened. E.g. right now I'm using the RPenabled method to disable metro but keep the ribbon and TM via a couple of scripts. For some time after logon, the confidential blah..blah.. remains on my desktop, after that it magically disappears without any...

The Customer experience improvement program can be turned off. But IDK whether WDP follows any rules.
