Yeah well already faced some problems like My Corsair Vengeance 1500's drivers not installing on Win 8. Though a quick google search revealed that it should work in Win 7 compatibility mode, will try that at home.

BTW 1 offtopic query :
I'm trying to create a torrent but content is not getting uploaded.. any help??
^^ Try creating a slipstream installation. It will install all the updates while installing Windows. There are even methods to slipstream your drivers/softwares etc too. Google is your teacher
Another method is to use some software like WSUS Offline Update - Update Microsoft Windows and Office without an Internet connection
I had used Windows Download integrator in a lot of Windows 7 installations. Seems it supports Win 8 too now. During the time of XP, there was something called nlite(?) which did the same job and also allowed many other features.

You can download the update files from Microsoft Download Center and install the updates offline.

Well I guessed that but downloading about 45 updates of which 5-10 are 50-100mb range & 20 are 5-10mb & rest are <1mb & then installing them in a particular sequence & that too individually is real pain in@$$

Yeah well you have to take that pain if you want to install them later.

WDI seems to be unavailable as of now as Alphawaves is updating the version. There are download links in the wild but I won't suggest using them. Hopefully, WDI should be up within a month.
As an alternative, try out Win Toolkit - WinCert.net Forums

When will be Windows 8.1 released??
If we install 8.1 over 8, what will happen to OEM apps? As currently I'm using OEM modified Windows 8 in a laptop.

If you install the preview, you have to reinstall the actual 8.1 when it releases AFAIK (not very sure though).
What is this OEM modified W8 ?

Guys i have a few queries
*where do i find a ' download in progress ' from the modern ui incarnation of IE10 i mean the one we start from 'start screen'
*is windows defender enough for protection? If not please recommend a free AV that'll hold up to thee task
*I have about 1.3gb of windows updates (over half of them are security fixes) should i update now or wait for 8.1 as it might include all these updates and i don't have to waste bandwidth now

Well not really modified w8.
Some (useful) Lenovo apps were present in Windows 8. But these apps are not found in Windows store.
Now when I install 8.1 after it is released, how do I get back those Lenovo apps ?

* no idea man, btw why do you download from ie anyway?
* no Windows defender is not good. Use avast or avira or avg antivirus.
* I'm also thinking same.
Waiting for 8.1

Ctrl+j. Already answered above.
Yes, for all all the basic purposes if you follow some common sense approach.
Security updates are not bandwidth "wastage". Update them now.
