The Windows 8 Thread

[rider]

My HP LaserJet M1136 MFP is not supported by Windows 8.

HP support website clarifies that they will provide the solution in December 2012.

It's so bad that the product which is still being sold, is not supported, neither by Microsoft nor by HP.

Any solution guys ?

Try to use virtual windows xp or ubuntu.

Talking of Windows 8... IE 10 sucks or not?
I think Microsoft is becoming really honest in this ad!

You have a FREE 90 days tech support with Microsoft.

Call there helpline numbers or the Phone Activation numbers [ its in bangalore ]. They will manually activate it for you.

^^ activation via phone is always free, phone charges are applicable though.

just disconnect internet and opt for phone activation..If you find activation problems with Microsoft india use skype to call Microsoft US/UK for free ..

Why does one need a Facebook app when you are working on a PC??

EDIT: unless its just for kicks or deep integration.
