I hated installing Windows 8 RP

So I finally got around to installing the RP last night and I installed it because for some reason my then current build became corrupt. So it installs and I get in. I use it then shut it down and go to bed. I wake up next morning, stay home from a field trip I don't want to be at, and I boot to find that it won't boot right. So because after 2 boots it automatically tries to repair itself, it tried that but it failed, and then I tried to use command prompt and whatnot but it messed the accounts up because apparently you have to log into the admin account to use repair tools, so I couldn't use them. Then I tried to install the CP again. It installed fine, but for some reason it was corrupt and the interface crashed when I unlocked it. So I go to install RP using an ISO I had put on a disc but it won't boot from it because I stupidly forgot to burn it on instead of just putting it on. Then I go to install CP again and it makes it until the final stage where it says it's getting my PC ready

but then it gets stuck on this forever so I shut it down and then I start it up but it doesn't work and then I shut it down and start it up to try the repairs again but it was futile so then I downloaded the ISO again on a different computer and burned it on a DVD with a burning program and then I put it in the DVD drive and booted my computer from that and it worked and I'm typing from that and I love Metro but I use the desktop most of the time.

I just hope it doesn't crash on startup after I shut it down like the first time I installed RP

Cool try, but why help troubleshoot their product at this stage? I assume you have a box just for fucking around with OS?

Have you toyed around with VMware? If it isn't too bloated you can run it in there without ever installing, just to experiment.

I don't think that's the latest version. The latest consumer preview doesn't have the fish icon. It just says Windows.

Once you install it it's not a bad OS in theory, the problem is putting a tablet OS on a desktop. Something which Microsoft didn't see through their rose tinted glasses.

LOL

Crispin Glover is an actor and Dr Who is a role, so your trolling is bad, and you should feel bad
