    Hi guys. My win8 install has been mostly smooth, even surprisingly so. The only snag was having missing items in the vaio control center, but after half a day, i found that was due to not installing the 'shared notebook libraries'... definitely not mentioned in the sony docs.

    anyway the big challenge now is with Widi. I somehow had it working on Win 8 release candidate, but now that I'm on the real thing i have no idea how to get it working. I've tried the win7 drivers from sony, which seem to go through the process, but simply don't change anything. I've tried the drivers directly from Intel and it doesn't recognize my hardware.... so I'm at a loss and I really dont have hours and hours to experiment these days.

    Any help or hope on any of these things???
