Windows 8

Does anyone else have Windows 8 yet?
I purchased a Dell from a deal I saw on Slickdeals, it came with Windows 8
At first I hated it, but after 2 weeks I really like the setup & I do not miss the start button.
Its fast but there are a few issues, which I will ask below.
When I first started the computer, I went though the usual setup. I signed in with my Microsoft account/Xbox Account & made the user as the administrator
Basic issues which may get fixed over time
- programs/hardware have not released updates for windows 8, only option is to use the software for Windows 7
- smaller issue- I copied some wallpaper from windows 7, when I use it on Windows for my desktop at 1080p. The pictures are very grainy & not crisp. Wallpaper that came with Windows 8 are very crisp. I have my monitor hooked up by HDMI.
Main issue
- with the administrator account- I am unable to connect to the Microsoft store & none of my metro apps work
I tried all the troubleshooters I found online, & none of them solve the issue
- I tried to create a separate user for the computer, & the metro apps work fine on the new user
I would hate to re-install windows, is this my only option?
