Some bugs of build 8175
1) Win+R, then type msconfig, go in startup tab, and click on "Open Task Manager" and you get a "Task Manager has stopped working"
2) In IE10, go on youtube, open 3 tabs with a video, get a BSOD.
3) Touch Keyboard is crazy, and if you do a fast typing, he crash.
4) Software issue: just launch cpuZ make crash your OS.

Why not just wait for the official? I mean after all it will be out soon enough. I think it would behoove us to see what current software titles can run, and cannot run in Windows 8, and create a complete list of them. I mean unless we want to have a compatibility mode in EVERY version that will ever come out of Redmond till the end of time.
