Below are great screen shots of Windows 8 RP desktop, Colors are blended perfectly with Aero. Of course you have a choice to turn Aero off too, But many say MS is going to take away that choice and leave us with no choice for Aero transparency at all. To me this is an outrage. Win 8 Rp Aero is...

I just installed Windows 7 and, while trying to use a program that I installed, it advised me that my Windows 7 was not an RTM version, and only SP1. Can someone explain that and tell me if there is an update to sp1 rtm? My system is 32 bit.

FYI:
Just letting you know I have just written to the W8 Build Team regarding the condition of many APPs that many ppl are noticing. Indicating a natural desire amongst (potential) End Users to have this rectified, @ least, by RTM.
