Mine just went belly up. Looks like I'm going have to re instal again tomorrow.

I can no longer get the all apps page to loaf or the search to work. It just cashed the metro start screen. And desktop

Windows 8 now installed.

I'll give it a week or so before I decide whether it bugs me or whether it has improved my experience. First impressions are good although I still feel like I am fumbling around a bit.

Best touch so far is that when you start typing in the Start screen it automatically opens up the search.

Ohhh, I didn't realise you could turn the taskbar off on your second monitor. That's good because it got annoying seeing it there.

Use it and at £24.99 or £14.99 i think is a no brainer, and you can always go back to Windows 7.

Does anyone know if we can do a clean install with download or retail disk?
