My first bug: Create new folder menu is not showing even if I hover my mouse for eternity on "New"

[Arceles]

Max Payne 3 doesn't not work, and that's a huge deal for me. Going back to 7. BTW... isn't even that faster that windows 7 with everything that I normally use... and why I cannot autostart programs like K10STAT for overclocking my processor automatically, even when I put them on the startup folder? that sucks.

Tip for those who can't stand (like me) the small lower left rectangle: move up the taskbar, that way it doesn't interfere, who had the gread idea of having both the charm bar and the so missplaced small rectangle? what a mess is this.

No. You may not discuss activation cracks or any other type of cracks here.

See, now that's what I thought as well, but notice who started the thread, and clearly mentions the activation 'workaround', so right there seems to open it up for discussion. Kind of sets a double standard.

Personally I'm with quite a few in this thread that suggest that most, if not all, who have this software have obtained it illegally, and according to Neowin rules it should not be discussed, let alone encouraged.

Sigh, are you bound to this rulebook like you are bound to the constitution or something?

There is no such thing as an activation workaround anyway.
It's impossible to be breaking rules because you can't activate it.

Well Neowin's staff themselves are geeking out over the leak. Neobond was not discussing activation method. He was mentioning the bug with activation of Office 2013 Preview which is perfectly legal to use.

Just pointing out the double standard is all.

1) its not retailed yet
2) not every dev has released drivers yet
3) its only just come out to OEM! There will be bugs!
4) your using it unactivated.
5) its in notification mode.
6) etc etc etc etc...

just wait! if it was perfect first time you would not get service packs or windows updates, what else did you expect of something thats not even out to the public yet?

1: There was no mention of how to crack the software or any links to such info. No rule break, no double standard.
2: He is the boss
3: This is not a democracy
4: ?
5: stfu.

Interesting. looks like an office issue, not windows.

If you use Office click-to-run, these error messages shouldn't show up. I have tested running Microsoft office on a RTM build without Activating it. When run using the Home Premium subscription, all of the office apps run fine!

For those of you who have found and installed the RTM, it looks like whatever workaround still causes issues when trying to use it

Regardless the difficulties, RTM will be tamed one way or another, I don't need a crystal ball to see that. Maybe even in both ways, like it happened to Win7. All errors will be cleaned. I'm just not sure it would worth the trouble.
