For those of you who are running Windows 8 can you tell me if these 2 bugs in Windows 7 were fixed in Windows 8?


(Bug 1) The Red X button under Device Manager hardware list flickers

(Bug 2) When you drag a window like Windows explorer to the right the UI near the top right corner starts to tear off.

Hmmm... never got any of these in W7 myself, much less in W8!

Those bug don't exists in 7, your Windows installation is probably messed up (sounds like bad gpu drivers to me).

Not true

I know because when I went to Best buy everyone of there computers does it too.

Bug 1: even tho I've never experienced it in Windows 7, it's not present in the WDP
Bug 2: I don't understand
EDIT:
Bug 1: Ah, I just found out what you're talking about. Yes, the problem is still present in WDP.
still don't get Bug 2, tho

I have never experienced these issues either.

Can you take a snap for bug 2, using snipping tool?

The other bug, when you kill an app in the taskmanger sometimes it doesn't refresh the icon list next to the clock. You have to hover the icon for the icon to go away.

Not having any of these issues with Windows 7 64bit SP1.

Like I'd trust Best Buy to keep their display computer updated with the latest patches and drivers

this still happens

I think these bugs may be unique to you only.

Like I have an iPod 4, and when I installed iOS5, some features in Opera Mini browser stop working. And no else got this problem with the same hardware and software.
And also when I go to Spotlight search, it always gets stuck for a moment. Unique to me.


And and on Windows 7, I got this strange bug that whenever I turned on my PC, IE9 opened automatically. I have two other PCs, and this issue happened to with only this one.
Though after 4 days, this "useful" bug stopped showing up.

So this problem may only be unique to you and some other people, and it may also be temporary, like in my case.

Thanks. That'll be helpful.

@FMH, the first bug (at least) isn't unique to him. If you go into device manager then right-click on one of the things on the list then properties, then hover your cursor over the red X button and watch really carefully and the X button kind of gets selected and unselected once every few seconds.

It happens to me in IE9 sometimes.
