One More Reason To Dislike Windows 8

This is just too much.....

Ok, anyone running Windows 8 on more than one rig, feel free to chime in.

I have Windows 8 on my main rig (dual boot with 7).

I have Windows 8 on my laptop (dual boot with 7).

If I'm logged into both at the same time, weirdness.....

I set a wallpaper and taskbar color on one, the other changes to match. Now, since I run 3 monitors on my main rig, this really screws with my laptop.

I'm sure it has to do with logging on to both rigs with the same live.com account.

But surely this isn't supposed to do this?

Anyone else able to reproduce this?

Quoting kku,

After running the Windows Upgrade Assistant, I find I could live without a most of the incompatibilities. However, the real game breaker is The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind incompatibility. Yes, this game was released in 2002, but it is still one of my favorites and runs fine under Windows 7. So, for me, Windows 8 won't happen!

kku,

I switched to Windows 8 Pro x64 this weekend. Not only does Morrowind run, but it is damn fast.
