Windows 8 Install
- by Richard Jones
So did my first Windows 8 install today.   Did it on a Macbook Pro (bootcamp partition).
Bootcamp partition, needed to be formatted by Windows 8,  in-order to proceed.   However once done install went smoothly.      Installed the Apple Windows Support stuff in compatibility mode;  which went well.   I tried it first not in compatibility mode and it caused a Blue Screen of death (which now has a :-( icon )
The volume, brightness etc.  soft keys work well.
I had some trouble joining wireless networks;  so hopefully a windows update will resolve.
First impression, is that 'its just like Windows 7',  but with Metro.     We'll see what happens over the next few days.
