Where did you guys get the info that the DreamSpark Premium folk also get Windows 8 today? Just want to make sure it's not a rumor.

Also, would it be in bad manners (or against forum rules for that matter) to ask for a link to the iso? Since I'll most likely be getting my own license key in a matter of time... :p

Is there a way to change the colour of the writing in the toolbars? I changed my theme to black and the writing is just black, not even a white glow.

Also the Xbox Music app cannot find any of my music, I think it may be because it's on a separate harddrive, however it is showing up in Libraries.

Also Windows Media player cannot play any videos, I just get a black screen and audio...

@Elliot: there's DreamSpark and DreamSpark Premium, according to this the Win 8 should be available on DreamSpark Premium today. Also, according to the Lee Scott whom you already referred to, it is in fact available on DSP, but the faculty's or university's DreamSpark admin has to publish it, so it may not be visible to everyone yet.

Are you sure that DreamSpark admin has to publish it manually?

Because, AFAIK, it used to be like this for MSDN:AA but now it's automated.

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
