I mentioned before that I haven't had any problems with 8.1, but I guess that wasn't entirely correct.
1. Flash 9 standalone likes to completely black out my screen if I try to change any settings when playing FFR. This happens on multiple engines, so I'm guessing it's something on Flash's end and not FFR.
2. Some programs don't support win 8.1 very well. Hearthstone has to be run in win7 compatibility mode or it can render every program on your computer inoperable when you close out of it and you're forced to do a hard shut down.
3. I have charms turned off but they still show up. Go figure.
4. The fact that Control Panel and PC Settings are two different applications (with PC Settings being a Metro app) is incredibly dumb.
5. The pre-installed Skype Metro app is terrible omg.

1. I've never had any files open up in Metro (and I've never fiddled with any settings in that regard).
2. There is a built-in option that makes the metro page look kinda like a full screen start menu (that you can easily exit out of via the windows key). It's in the same area as where you select to boot straight to desktop.
Example of what it looks like (desktop background is in the bg, obv).
