Hi Stephen
Got the slate up and running (use the pen for initial config, trying to use just the screen was a bad experience). Got Bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected. Connected to home WiFi. Pretty easy really. Win7 not that good with tablets. Looking forward to Win8. When you mounted the Win8 ISO on your slate did you use Virtual Clone Drive http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/mount-an-iso-image-in-windows-v ista/ or some other method? Could make a bootable USB, but I think I need a high capacity one (16GB+) I have an external usb DVD drive but it needs two ports. So I can use that if I get desperate.

Don't recall having an option but it was the ISO version if that helps. Oh, and we tested it the other night. The pen does turn off the touch when its in proximity of the screen so no risk of drawing stuff with your hand while using the pen. I hadn't payed much attention to it, and hadn't noticed any annoying hand smudging.

I thinks it's a bit entry level, but enough to get started. I presume you installed the Win 8 Consumer Preview http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/consumer-preview ? I found that tool to create a bootable USB (or at least install from USB) at http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwn Tool What version of VS2011 did you get, the Express Beta to build Metro apps http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/br229518 or something better?
