You have to go into advanced posting mode and click on the paper clip (1st Line 3rd Button) then use the pop up to attach images.

Hi boohbah I see from your screen shot that you have Avast running so Avast free and Pro should work in Windows 8 RTM ?

Avast free works, did not try pro.
Microsoft Security essentials works when you install it in Windows 7 mode.
Both will work together (I am running both).

Do you think that almost all software that runs in Windows 7 will run in the final build of Windows 8?

I think that is most likely, if we need a thread it's more like what doesn't work and what are the alternatives.
