Windows 8 Consumer Preview Thread

I think that Microsoft is being a bit pushy, forcing people to sign up to a email account, so they can use Win 8. Though people do have a email account, they are forced to share it with Microsoft, just to use Win 8.:mad:
 
Tried it and hated it...

It kept freezing and the HD light would stay on constant... Couldnt turn the thing off and i also hate how microsoft are forcing you to use their email accounts to sign in.

Metro style icons ? Leave it for xbox and windows phones and gimme normal desktop anyday.

Cant see how businesses are going to get on with this as they would spend 99% of the time trying to find how things and how to do stuff.
 
had a play around with it, its certainly different. as a desktop user im not sure what benefits are there for me.

probably wait for the RC before putting more time into it.
 
Fates against me, went to shop to get new usb pen and card has been blocked by bank and my other card, I can't for the life of me remember the pin as never use it in shops online only.
 
Can't seem to get the Windows Snap working. I am on the desktop, go to the top left to get my last used Metro App (Music) left-click and drag it out, but then if I try dragging it back to the left the last used apps panel appears rather then letting me snap the Music app.
 
So is it better to just install the preview on a USB stick as oppose to a VM? It's just I am worried about causing problems with my current data etc. But with it installed on a VM it is very limited to what it can do.

Thanks :)
