Some known problems:


In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.

You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.

Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.

Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.

There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.

Microsoft plans to announce a significant partnership on Tuesday with Spanish soccer team Real Madrid.

While the full details won’t be announced until tomorrow, it appears to be a combination technology and sponsorship deal along the lines of recent pacts Microsoft has made with other sports leagues and teams.

400m plus the cost of scrambling in week two to pay to get it placed onto the networks covering the nfl for actual product visibility and to stop it from being called 'an ipad'

i'm still amazed they forgot that part and thought they could do a sneaky end run around the people that pay billions to be the gatekeepers of football content

there's no GUI power options when you RDP in, not even if you do ctrl+alt+end like you could with Win 7. It's logoff/disconnect only unless you get a popup prompting for a restart or you know how to do it at a command line
