alienware alpha UI problems

Question

I recently purchased the Alienware alpha; I've noticed a few bugs with the Alpha UI that I'd like to be addressed. First, There are no options to specify a 'user name' when selecting a wifi network on a network.  Only a space to provide a user password.  This forces me to use windows interface to connect to the network and then launch steam via windows 8 desktop (completely defeating the purpose of the alpha UI ) Second, there are many problems with a wired xbox 360 controller iin switching between the alpha UI and steam big picture UI.  Upon entering steam UI after launching through the alpha UI with a wired controller (no problems with wireless) the selection process goes crazy and appears as though the arrow game pads or joystick is continuously being activated or pressed; therefore it is not possible to make any intentional selections. Third, (my biggest problem with the alpha UI).  When entering desktop mode through alpha UI selection, I am forced to select my user account (choice between 'Alpha' user group and my admin user) and then enter a password. Instead it would be most convenient that upon selecting the desktop mode via alpha UI, the system should go directly to the desktop. I'd appreciate it that my comments go towards the alpha development team to correct these issues.  Thanks Yablo
