    First I tought w8 would be good. So I open my laptop and run first setup of windows 8. Well it looked kid toy interface etc but also cool. Then when I get into desktop.

    First problem was that windows update freezed few ten seconds and then started to download. But it stayed in 0 as long as I kept it downloading. Then when I messed little but with around I but power options and there was update and restart. I hit that and it installed few windows updates but not them all. After restared I spent some time again and there was again update and restart option. And it installed few more.

    Im not sure if you dont understand what Im meaning but anyway windows update lagged badly

    had that happen with more than one W8 machine i was trying to set up out of the box--updates that sit on zero for an hour before taking five minutes to download and install. i think it's a lack of communication/development/planning/synergy/whatever between microsoft and the hardware manufacturers (think bloatware and/or manufacturer's utilities). can be a pain but your best bet is to reinstall clean.
