Windows 8 Consumer Preview

Just a quick post, as I've just finished installing the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and wondered why some of the built in apps such as xbox live, videos etc weren't signing my account in.

Turns out Microsoft deemed the UK not to be important :(

Come on MS, sort it out!!

What's Going On?

Account/Location Mismatch — C00D1353

Typically, this error occurs for one of the following reasons:

• You're trying to sign in to the app in countries or regions where the service is unavailable; or
• The computer that you're trying to sign in on is in a different Windows region than where your account is based.
