God, I hate Windows 8 so much.. I was not able to connect to hostel WiFi for 2 days but my roommate (win 7 laptop) can connect it without any problem. I was refusing to believe win 8 was the problem, then under his advice I installed Win 7 as dual boot. After booting into win 7, I installed WLAN driver (the same driver used for win 8) and in the first attempt itself I got connected to the hostel WiFi. I dont know why ms messed win 8 so badly.

Vista was a messed up os and that's why we got win 7. So MS released another messed up os ie win 8 to release a great os like win 9 :D

Make sure your pc / laptop meets the system requirements of windows 8 :
System requirements - Microsoft Windows

The pick up and but the edition that's most appropriate for you :

Now I am getting some weird problems with this OS. Sometimes in some dark colored websites I get some graining. Its not much and not very noticeable but its there. Reinstalled the GPU drivers but no use. :|
