I get it too on a standard laptop, This update is not applicable to your computer...

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Just checked download again and it seems to be for Window RT, so maybe that's the problem?

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

I have reinstalled my google talk and it now working so everything working now on 8.1

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

I will wait for the final as i don't want to do a fresh install when that comes out.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Apparently this is the fix for the 'not applicable' message:

1. Place and rename the MSU file in an easily accessible place, e.g. C:\8preview\preview.msu
2. open command prompt in administrator mode.
3. Type: Expand –F:* c:\8preview\preview.msu C:\8preview\
4. Type: DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\8preview\Windows8-RT-KB2849636-x64.cab

I've been trying it but CMD comes back after point 3 saying Destination is not a directory: C:\8preview. Any ideas?

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

I think the problem is I'm using windows eng(gb) not eng(us) - I'm not going to force and install as I suspect odd (more odd than normal I mean) may ensue.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Thoughts on 8.1 for people who have it installed?

Can you make it so when you click the start button it will then display the start screen in APP mode as default?

Do we know when the final is expected? :)

I have answered my own question for the APP view.
