I just bought Minecraft to play with a friend.
His copy works just fine but mine, when I launch it, does nothing.
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling, running as admin, updating all drivers and Java.
I noticed that a process appears briefly in the Task Manager window, but it just crashes after a split second.
I've attached a copy of my launcher log for further analysis.
@UPDATE:
I got it running in Windows XP compatibility mode, which uses the Legacy Launcher.

I might've found a solution.
Try these steps, they worked for me:
Switch to XP SP3 compatibility;
Launch the game. It'll update to Legacy mode;
Close the Launcher;
Switch off the compatibility options.
If this works for you too, we might've found a workaround.

Mine does the same thing and I haven't figured out how to fix it either
