Acer Iconia W500 Tablet PC running Windows 8 [SPEED TEST]

This is me showing off the ~16 second bootup time of my W500 tablet, which achieves this impressive time through a combination of the latest BIOS update & Windows 8 Developer Preview :)

I was going to sell it, but then I decided I would miss it.

Did you install windows 8 on there? Cause if so, was it simply just installing it on there, or because of it being a tablet, did you had to go through a more complex way to get it to work on there?

@rustygrimm1 Yeah, I installed it on there myself using a USB DVD drive, but you can put the files onto a USB stick & install it from there. There are loads of tutorials on the web of how to install Windows from a USB stick :)

Installing Windows8 is incredibly simple & fast :D

It seems a good match for WIndows 8. Do you know how many touch points it supports? I've tried to find a video of someone using Paint (say) on the w500 to see if you can use 5 or even 10 brushes at once like the Iconia 6120. Or is it just two fingers or what? I'm interested for music, to use as an on-screen playable keyboard, I'm a music software developer. Thanks
