Still too many game glitches :? http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/10816 ... ng-thread/

though Mass Effect 3 and Kingdoms of Amalur work full screen now at least.

Add Media Center to the Windows 8 Release Preview :-

Windows Media Center is not preinstalled in Windows 8 Release Preview. If you want to use Windows Media Center, you need to add it by following these steps:

    Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
    (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.)
    Enter add features in the search box, and then tap or click Add features to Windows 8.
    Tap or click I already have a product key.
    Enter this product key: MBFBV-W3DP2-2MVKN-PJCQD-KKTF7 and then click Next.
    Select the checkbox to accept the license terms and then click Add features.
    Your PC will restart and Windows Media Center will now be on your PC and the tile will be pinned to the Start screen.

Welp, I'm done until the final release, then it'll be dual boot. I thought everything would be cleared up by now but I still have too many game issues.

Might be AMDs problem more than the OS itself, but either way its definitely not fit for a single boot scenario on my box yet.

key size. You'd have to shrink the rest of the keys for the tablet form factor to support a numpad. It wouldn't be a great keyboard. Plus not a lot of people use them and you can buy a USB one wherever.

Thought the entire purpose of a tablet dock was to emulate a desktop PC.

Not sure what you are trying to get at, but I've used tons of netbooks and none of them have numpad's, there's just no room!

A tablet dock just emulates a netbook, not a larger laptop (and not many laptops have numpad's either)

I "work" on the numeric keypad. A keyboard without it is just incomplete.
And for the last years every decent laptop has one.

As I said, you can just use a USB one if you need it that badly.
