Too early to give a report but it is snappier than win7 on this little notebook

main glitch

ASUS video driver is behind the times for Windows 8

Cannot get full use of the new features...

I'm sure ASUS/Intel will release compatible drive soon (i hope)

1024x600 is the max for my eee pc

win8 wants 1024/768 minimal

I've read online there is a way to trick win8 in seeing 1024/768

I read a little bit about it and I don't think I'd like it for a PC. Looks good for a mobile platform, but not regular computing IMO. I'll stick with Windows 7.

d2 , you may be right

I believe M$ is targeting the touch/flip (like iPad) market with win8
