Has anyone heard if there is a way to change the Windows 8 DP to a universal disc.? (I have already googled for this & found nothing for W8)
I know w/ Windows 7 one only had to only remove the ei.cfg file to open up all the other versions but I dont see that file in the "sources" folder on W8 DP .iso

Since it has exclusive features and not purchasable, now I understand why the bidders set such a high price on ebay.
Yeah, it's a unique version.
Also they likely wanted to redeem the price of it. I mean $1700 for the ticket and then tax for the tablet. They are making back what technically paid for the tablet and making a profit.

Technically no. It has NFC, A gyroscope and other exclusive features.
There exist some tabletPC's that already have accelerometers/gyroscopes. Like some of the newer Lenovo ThinkPad Tablets.. only difference between those slates and these is that these have a keyboard and those don't. Totally not worth the price until they get into the market and drop in prices due to high availability.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but pressing Shift-F8 rather than F8 before booting to WDP will show the traditional Advanced Boot Options menu like the screenshot.

question: how to restore default dualboot manager that was created by Windows 8? I edited it with EasyBCD from Windows 7 and It was turned to "old" dualboot menu.
regards!
