Hi Stephen
Bluetooth is also disabled. Not an immediate good experience. As you have got it working you probably have some ideas about fixing these.

Looks reasonably ok. With the windows desktop, I get a dialog about a missing Asus ACPI Driver. Did you get this? I checked the device settings for acpi and did an update driver for all acpi entries and it said they were all ok. The dialog keeps come up over and over again. The touch screen might become a slap screen! It boots ok. But then where do you shut it down? Seems like I need to do an intro tutorial on how to compensate for the missing things that I am familiar with.

The pen that comes with it is quite cheap feeling. I bought a pen from Wacom but only the pen enabled ones will work, there are a few different types. I emailed Wacom and they told me the type that would work.

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?
