    Put Windows 8 on my Eee Pc this morning and...

    It's free... Release Preview that is

    But I will get a downloadable retail version for $15.00 when in comes out

    Signed up here

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/download

    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.
