I interned at Microsoft this summer working on one of those "Metro-styled" apps. Very cool to see this stuff come out now!

 

[UltraMav]

Can you just move the mouse right/left on the Metro start screen or do you have to actually grab the scroll bar?

 

[brotkasten]

So they did nothing with the standard interface. Looks the same.

Developer preview, release in a year, Windows Server 8 metro shot leaked, Explorer got Ribbons.

 

[ColtraineGF]

MMMmmm, Task Manager. Delicious.

 

[enzo_gt]

Requesting picture of Task Manager porn (I'm on my phone).

 

[Totakeke]

Long Zheng: BTW: the Aero in the traditional desktop of the Windows Developer Preview is not final, it should be totally black/chromeless.

I hope so too.

 

[Walshicus]

Control panel yes.

 

[MedIC86]

dammnnn shit is so fluid already, and its not even final

 

[JaggedSac]

0% cut for W8 marketplace.

Oh wow, really? Yeah, digital distributers' business is pretty much dead then.

 

[artist]

HOLY SHIT - REFRESH!

 

[MThanded]

All the malware will be removed. lolz

 

[DopeyFish]

that task manager is so god damn awesome

that program time will be so damn useful... especially in nullifying apps that are draining network time

that makes me so excited

Oh wow, really? Yeah, digital distributers' business is pretty much dead then.

yep. GFWL is going to come back in a HUGE way

 

[clav]

Techsupport GAF simplified.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Refresh + Reset, very nice.

So many new functions to try out, so cool

 

[brotkasten]

hah, now that looks more more like a metro style app (on the desktop).

 

[bathala]

this is y I hold off from upgrading to 7

windows 8 looks a huge step (coming from Vista)

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

Wow. Windows 8 looks fucking good.

 

[Chris R]

this is y I hold off from upgrading to 7

8 Won't be out for quite some time.

With 7 as great as it is, I don't see why anyone would want to stick with the crap that is Vista.

 

[clav]

YES Remote Desktop got a makeover.

 

[cbox]

I want, NOW!

 

[artist]

RDP for Touch!

 

[Totakeke]

Rafael Rivera: I'm using Remote Desktop now (from Windows 7 to Windows 8, fully compatible)

Nice!

 

[MThanded]

7 was a huge step up from Vista because Vista was a terrible OS.

Windows 7 was the first decent Microsoft OS IMO.

 

[Emily Chu]

[Vestal]

Well, the developer build will be out tonight. Plus, Vista isn't actually that crap vs 7; with the latest updates it's just fine.

 

[Lucario]

I have a class that gets out right @ 5pm. I am heading to the campus center to pick up DVDs~ <3

 

[JaggedSac]

yep. GFWL is going to come back in a HUGE way

They don't even have to brand anything as GFWL. They just have a section in the marketplace for games and its a done deal. Maybe have a section with Live capable games too.

 

[Chris R]

monetary reasons

Are you a student? If so you can upgrade to 7 Professional for $40...

Vista SP2 is usable.

 

[Vestal]

7 was a huge step up from Vista because Vista was a terrible OS.

Windows 7 was the first decent Microsoft OS IMO.

Are you serious?!?! the leap from 3.14 ----> 95...... Windows 2k.. XP....

 

[celebi23]

YAY! Mounting ISO's in Windows Explorer! Finally!

 

[Beowulf28]

They don't even have to brand anything as GFWL. They just have a section in the marketplace for games and its a done deal. Maybe have a section with Live capable games too.

Competition for Steam?

 

[angelfly]

So Daemon Tools is now obsolete.

 

[bananas]

Up button.

 

[brotkasten]

GFWL is now Xbox Live.

Buy games, or buy XBL games with avatar crap and achievements.


E: SECOND FUCKING TASKBAR! YES YES YES!

 

[alr1ght]

[kehs]

Welcome to 1999 and ultra mon.

 

[Reversed]

RIP Daemon tools (except you require lots of virtual drives).

 

[enzo_gt]

CAN I PLAY GIFS IN WINDOWS 8 PHOTO VIEWER?

This is literally the last piece of the puzzle needed for Win 8 to dethrone the current king of OSs, Win 7.
