Hi,

I have just installed Windows 8 RTM on my old, veteran Mini 10 and it gave it a new life!

This OS is so much faster and less RAM hungry than Windows 7 - everything works smoothly. Latest EMGD drivers for GMA500 work fine.

Highly recommended!

What's the resolution of the Mini 10? Are you able to use the UI formerly known as Metro?

I got HD screen (1366x768), Metro works just fine. GMA500 struggles a bit at this resolution in Desktop though, disabling visual effects helps a lot.
