So it's been a few days since the final version of Windows 8 was
made available to select groups of people, and if you're like me (not liking the idea of the Start screen too much) you'll probably give it a go anyway, if you have access to it.
While I absolutely cannot fault the speed at which Windows 8 installs (around ten minutes for a clean install) and the setup options, there are still a few problems which deserve a mention, and possibly expose why it was a bad idea not to expand the beta test to a larger group of enthusiasts like me.
Am I annoyed that I wasn't in the beta test? You bet! When I tested Windows 7 I was able to submit reports either on
Connect, or from the OS with the Feedback link, and I'm pretty sure quite a number of the issues I'll cover here would have been reported had a larger pool of testers been given the chance.
