Great extra information... that was going to be my next question.
I was wondering if it would disable to registration of the previous OS you're updating from. I'm glad I didn't do it with my Win7 DVD because I'm still using it. Once I get the upgrade disk I'll first try using an XP disk I don't care about. I guess I could also use my Vista disk because it's not like I'm ever going to use it again.
I actually went to Staples twice already and they didn't have any. They also only had one touchscreen Win8 machine but it was password protected so I couldn't even try it the way it was meant to be used.
Whoever asked for the bing desktop in Windows 8 you can grab the theme from the same place as Windows 7 as use it the same way.
@dentaku: Try Best Buy. They are definitely selling the OS and devices. And there is always the MS Stores - if there is one nearby, it is worth the trip.
If you can wait a week or so, you should see a new wave of x86/x64 touch devices hit the stores - the OEMs are releasing the rest of their models just before Thanksgiving.
Bing desktop not working in Windows 8 issue:
1) install Bing Desktop version for Windows 7 on Windows 7 (virtual, ...)
2) store the Bing Desktop install dir
3) copy on Windows 8
4) set Compatibility mode -> Run this program in compatibility mode: Windows 7
5) fave fun :-)
"Email body is blank SBS2011." - I got the same problem and found out it was the AVG Anti-virus, check this http://goo.gl/jLJiI
It's amazing we even have a Staples anywhere near where I live. I've never seen a Best Buy. They'll have some more before the special price ends in January.
Hi,
It was any email other than plain text and server had latest updates.
It was AVG related and only effected a few users and I solved it a while back, was shocked by bing searches how popular this error is.

Regarding Bing App on Windows 8 Pro, on right click why only 'Set as Lock Screen' is enabled while 'Copy link', 'Copy', and 'Save As' all are disabled. Anyone else having this issue? Or is it US only feature?
And regarding Windows 8 Pro upgrade, I was not clear what Gov explained. So for upgrading Windows 8 , one has to install Windows ver then only follow the upgrade path? He said something about just enter Windows 7 key but later activate with Windows 8 key? This is while installing with Win8 Pro upgrade DVD?
Also once we upgrade, the Windows 7 Key becomes nullified! Means we NEVER will be allowed to install even on that same machine if we format Windows 8 upgrade and want to install our Windows 7? Or is it that we are not allowed to install on other machine once we upgrade to Win 8 pro?
Can anyone clarify, please? Thanks.
Larry and Gov, I enjoy this show very much & haven't missed any edition.
