Bugs in Windows 8

Okay so far i have only seen one problem and that has to do with Google Chrome for Windows 8.
The problem is that when running Google Chrome in Windows 8 mode (as an app) when you try to close it, it often reopens, but i have found a workaround for this bug. Whenever your wanting to close Google Chrome then go to the settings at the top right and click relaunch in desktop mode, then close the program.

More Features :)

Ok so Windows 7 was the first Windows OS to implement the ability to burn an iso file without installing any extra software, but Windows 8 is the Windows OS to have the ability to mount an iso file or vhd file without installing any extra software. Just Simply Right Click on the iso or vhd file and then click Mount.
It will mount the iso or vhd file as a new drive. For example i mounted Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City

Windows 8 Also has Native drivers for USB 3.0 ports without the need to install 3rd party drivers like you had to in Windows 7.

And now when using multiple monitors it stretches the task bar across both monitors.
It syncs your settings with any computer you have setup with the same windows live id.

Did i mention the fact that when your using an app you can share whatever it is your viewing using the shortcut key windows key + H  and then choose what you want to share it to. The more social apps you have installed the more you have the ability to share to.
