and I must say, I think it's the biggest mistake Microsoft has made since Vista. For a tablet it probably works well - after all my Android cellphone has been using something very similar for a few years now as have Apple products.
But for a Corporate desktop? Are they serious? Are they mad?
None, not one, of my clients thins they would ever use it as a desktop operating system and I must say I agree.
Enough!
And, as a first experience, when I installed the MSDN VLA version and went to register it, I found I couldn't. There is no box to enter the serial number but yes, you do need one. The trick is to open an elevated command window and type:
slui 3 and press ENTER
yes, SLUI: which stands for SOFTWARE LICENSING USER INTERFACE
- SLUI 1 brings up the activation status window
- SLUI 2 brings up the activation window
- SLUI 3 brings up the CHANGE PRODUCT KEY window
- SLUI 4 brings up the CALL MICROSOFT & MANUALLY ACTIVATE window
Type in your product key
Enjoy - well done Microsoft....a great start to the Windows 8 experience.
