win8 Using Windows 8 RTM leak not all plain sailing

[deactivated_]

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.

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?

Just pointing out the double standard is all.

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 :p

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.
