Windows 8 is alive. I tried to install it on a notebook 10.1" nevertheless the apps didn't run. The problem is the resolution of the screen 1024 x 600. It is too low to exec this apps. What to do if the driver doesn't allow to reduce it. On this post I explain how to solve it:
Go to Run and write regedit.
Click on Edit -> Find -> write Display1_DownScalingSupported
Double click on the property and change the value from 0 to 1.
Restart the PC and you can use your Windows 8 copy.
