I'm still having the strange artifacting, inability to open display fusion, extra taskbars not updating, etc in beta 12 as began in beta 11. I'm running windows 8.1 preview, does it not work correctly with 8.1 yet? or perhaps uninstalling and installing beta 12 didnt change the files for some reason? on a side note i uninstalled beta 11 last night and installed the release version, and had the exact same problems. perhaps i need to completely clean it from my system after an uninstall somehow?

Almost as soon as it starts. like easily within 5 minutes. i notice skype starts showing symptoms the quickest of the software i have running.
