Tried to install my Anti-virus while running the Windows Developer Preview and an error shows that it has compatibility issues and would not continue with installation. The program I was about to install was Kaspersky 2011.

K. Krisztian ,
For the skype issue - are you attempting to used the lastest update? Or are you running into this problem with that one?

You can try to run the compatiblity troubleshooter to install the drivers.
Since the manufacturers have not created drivers for Windows Developers Preview, I suggest you update to the most current Windows 7 driver.
If that doesn't work, they try to install in compatibility mode.
For the driver/drivers you downloaded use the compatibility troubleshooter to install them to see if that resolves the problem.
You can do this by:· Enter the Start screen
· Move your mouse to the bottom left of the screen to expand the Charms section
· Select Search
· Type Compatibility
· Click Settings in the right column
· Click Run programs made for previous versions of Windows
· Then follow the prompts and direct the troubleshooter to the installer for your computer's driver.
Let us know if this helps.
