    Okay, being with TechNet, I have my full version of Windows 8 Pro, 64 Bit, up and running. Very nice!!!! Lose some things in the way of tablet, but not many. The layout is super nice, you can switch back and forth from the classic to the "pad" version. Really nice apps also. If anyone else is testing, send me a note!!! :cool:

    Not testing yet. I'm waiting for a caddy so i can easily switch between my work drive with windows 7 and testing windows 8. Any tips or advice for installing? Clean install or install it over Win7?
    I've got a 19 mk5 that I want to use for it.

    What things?
    I don't have auto rotation only, but front buttons work. Or I can repair auto rotation without front buttons :))
    I guess all other functions are here.

    I'm technet so my option is only clean install. Don't know what the new "buy win 7 computer, upgrade later" stuff is going to do........

    Only my lock key works, have not really tried rotation yet. Keyboard key does not work, had to put keyboard shortcut on desktop. Love the new look, ability to move between old and new looks...... Still working on this thing..... MTC...... :thumbsup:
