Hey,

I've got the new win8rc running on my vmware fusion 4 (latest version) but multi-monitor support and the keyboard gesture swipe don't seem to work for me. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Are there drivers available? If not, you will need to wait until it is supported.

for the previous version (february windows 8 consumer preview) most windows 7 programs and drivers worked including all the multi display stuff and gesturing. I'm hoping I'm must missing something simple and someone here would tell me the secret. If not, I will have to wait.

after struggling with fusion 4.1.2 all day with the release cand. of windows 8, I'm going back to the previous win8 consumer preview for a while. I've been using that for my development (visual studio 2011 beta) since February and it's been very stable. Today, not so much stability.

Problems:
1) Stray character get stuck on the screen requiring full macbook reboot to clear
2) can not get two windows screens
3) swipe gestures to move between macos and windows 8 rc work intermitenly
4) feel slugish sometimes but could be my bad attitude at the moment.

Any other suggestions let me know here.
