I just wasted $40 for a Windows 8 license and installed it with VMware. And the first two simple things I tried don't work.
1. When I wanted to use one of my own pictures as desktop background, it tells me that I do not have an application for that. Since when do we need applications to set a desktop background. It works neither from the picture directly nor thru Personalize.
2. I always automate my logins with Netplwiz. That is a hit and miss too. It works a couple of times, then I have to loging manually again (although the little box is still unchecked).
What a mess. All these functions worked in the prerelease versions. I knew I was wasting my money.
