Hi Stephen I installed Win8 CTP on my EEE Asus tablet. Looks reasonably ok. With the windows desktop, I get a dialog about a missing Asus ACPI Driver. Did you get this? I checked the device settings for acpi and did an update driver for all acpi entries and it said they were all ok.

Unhooking events from Handler

Hey all, I've got a Static class that's behaving like an EventHandler in that you assign values to it via an operator + or - method. I need a method on this thing or some way that I can unhook the ones from one particular class (called from the dispose of that class) so that it can remove only
