Hi Stephen
You are up late. I think I saw a reference to doing that. Something like download the Bluetooth drivers, right click and choose windows 7 compatibility mode. I think I will have to use a usb mouse and keyboard until I can fix this. Do you know where the existing drivers are?

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.

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 ?
