^^ some programs just don't run on Win8 right now. You are going to have to wait for an update.

Win8 has built in AV. It's incorporated into Windows Defender now.

If whatever you're doing requires 3.5, you have to enable it. Installing the .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8 | |

You can also install 3.5 using this command (run CMD in admin mode if you have UAC on), no internet needed: Code: dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:F:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess F being your Win8 install CD or USB

Microsoft set up some sort of demonstration booth at UBC using Samsung W8 Tablets (wished they used the Surface instead). It's great to see the usage of it. I had no idea W8 could be so great for multi-tasking
Example of what I was shown:
Cocktail recipe app --> open --> charm bar --> click share --> click Mail --> drag page of Cocktail recipe app from snapped app tray into mail --> it's now in the mail 
She also managed to have 3 apps going split on the page, not too sure how she did it. Either way, I can see this being useful productivity wise.
this page also has a lot of shortcuts for us keyboard users Windows 8 Tricks, Tips and Shortcuts - TechSpot Guides | |

| Installing Windows 8
Should I upgrade from Windows 7 or perform a clean install? Traditionally, it's always been to go with the latter, but I want to know what you guys think.
If I have to do a clean install, what's the best way to backup all your applications? I don't want to re-install every single one of them again.

I did an upgrade from Win 7 but came away with driver issues. I then did a "refresh" where it basically killed your applications. Much better, and got rid of all the crap that I installed but never use.
If you don't want to have to re-install everything, clean off your drivers or make sure you have the latest versions installed.

I always reinstall fresh. There's no way to backup your programs without reinstalling.

Sounds like an issue connecting to MS at all. I know for myself I can't connect to their update servers with my ISP's DNS, I have to use google's DNS

not sure if this is the cause, but i think so
i went into safe mode and ran all my virus/trojan software and one of the programs found a trojan in one of the Apps i downloaded from the Microsoft Store?! was a chinese app QQ or QiQi something like that
Not sure if it was a trojan for certain, but seems that way, as after it was removed i could connect to windows update and connect to the store again (had a tonne of updates to apps and system)
