Well I use Google Chrome and it works fine. Did you install chromeTouch? That makes Google Chrome work better for W500.

Nope, I get through the day with Chrome.
Or you can use the touch version of IE 10 Beta.
If I'm doing alot of web surfing I'll dual boot into Android
Maybe when Windows 8 is in full release there will be a cool app store with various games, apps, keyboards, and browsers. Lets see how closed minded Microsoft will be with the store..

I've installed the x64 version and now I want to install the x86 version. When I installed the x64 I set the BIOS to start from an USB drive.

why did you want to do that ? our AMD C50 support 64bit so why choose the 32bit win8 version ?
(please reply quickly as i'll install soon win8 on my new ssd

Cause many drivers are not made for x64. There is no performance increase.

The main reason to run a 64 bit OS is to allow more than 3 GB of RAM. Since the W500 only has 2 GB of RAM and cannot be upgraded, there is really no reason to install the 64 bit version of Windows.
