Nope it's identical. In fact I had to change it to Canada to get it work with my XBOX Live account.

only compatibility issue i had was kaspersky and my bluetooth driver; downloaded an update for kaspersky and the driver and i was fine

oh hi "start menu" :fullofwin:

what? how?

Pokki start menu for Windows 8

https://www.pokki.com/ :fullofwin:

that's neat, i knew there would be an app or a mod registry entry etc something that would bring the old look back

and it just seemed crazy that the people dissing windows8 couldn't imagine that

This one is more like regular Windows: Welcome to Classic Shell

Amazed at how unstable most of the Windows 8 apps are. EVERYTHING I have used has crashed at least once. Store, Music, News, EVERYTHING.

yeah ive had a few app crashes too think it has to do with msft holding the sdk off for the longest

I think it might have to do with the login system.. Their servers are probably under heavy load, and my internet connection is pretty horrible. Hate that it has to log in to listen to my music :\

can anyone find the Hulu Plus app? its supposed to be in the store but i can't search for it
perhaps its US Only?

but im running a US DNS :/ i can use the browser hulu but it would be nice to have the app too

Set your location in the settings to USA. That's what the store is based on, not IP

What do you mean you have to log in to listen to your music? Does your computer have to be accessible to the internet before you can run media files?

thanks! that did the trick! now to check out apps from asia the uk and the states lol


not media files lomac but online services think skinny meant xbox music store etc

Yeah when you start the music app, it attempts to load "XBOX Music". You can't do anything until that is complete, and if the login fucks up the program crashes

I installed W8 and there were no app conflicts whatsoever. No USB3.0 driver issues nor MSE (it's still installed and running as I type). :confused:

well this is stupid.
Anyone else having problems saving (or finding the option to save) the ISO file??

I am having issues where my Wifi connection drops randomly. Will have to swap it out for an old one

Went to the Microsoft Store in Metrotown today and played with the Surface. Fully-touch screen, that flipping case keyboard...holy :sweetjesus:

makes me want to get a Windows Phone :fulloffuck:
Posted via RS Mobile

personally, I'd wait and try out the Pro version in person first..

anyway, was there any Surface in stock? thanks

lol same here (and that frightens me) and that's obviously what MSFT is counting on ;) and likely why the new google Nexus phone is so cheap

if they have a couple more quarters like they've had so far they may as well close up shop though

I don't mind so much. I used Windows Phone MUCH longer than I ever used Android... I used Windows Phone before there was even a phone on it :fuckthatshit: then all the way up to the post-iphone era, before switching to Android when they couldn't get their shit together.

I'm not a 'fan' of anything so i will use whatever appeals to me. I will be getting a hand-me-down Galaxy Nexus this week I think, so my opinion may be refreshed after using this single core HTC for 2 years now

BTW I just had to look up on google how to reboot Windows 8 :badpokerface:

The steps:

1) Hover at the bottom or top right corner
2) Move the mouse up or down, but not left or right. This opens the right side panel
3) click "Settings"
4) click "Power"
5) click "restart"

That's a fuck of a lot of steps to restart the PC :seriously:

^alt-f4 on the desktop.

Figured out the firewall. Was staring me in the face. Doh.

All these obscure keyboard shortcuts don't make sense either. For instance every native app supports the search function, but to get there you have to do the same mouse wizardry, then click search.. or you can press windows+c and then click. Why not make is windows+f if it's going to be universal anyway?
