This metro UI is fucking sexy as fuck. Animations are just crazy good.

At your user login page you have a picture and you need to click or swipe certain areas of the photo to log in. You set this up yourself.

Whoa. Cool, but I'd be too scared that I'll forget where to click.

 

[RubxQub]

App-Bar idea kind of sucks. I hate the soft-key settings menu on Android phones. Show me on the screen what I can do, don't hide key functionality behind gestures and buttons!

BOO APP-BAR!

Ah nice, I was thinking there would be a bunch of different images and you would need to pick the right one which didn't sound very secure.

yup , it shows that MS is never outclassed by others in terms of software. IOS can't touch this at all

That's why metro never works on pictures. It's much more impressive in video form.

What exactly is picture password?

You take a picture and select three points to touch as a password to login to your account. You can also create a point by dragging your finger anywhere on the screen. You'll have to remember where you dragged though as it'll be one of your 3. Not sure if you can have more than 3 points yet though.

EDIT: Nevermind, someone else got to you before me.

 

[Emily Chu]

how long is this conference ?

 

[Vanillalite]

$9.99 for Plants vs Zombies, get used to it.

Already use to it. I just don't buy the stuff. My loss I guess as I can't play the game, but MS+Dev lack of money from me.

 

[dem]

These people are terrible presenters

 

[An-Det]

This is fucking cool. I wish I was there to try it myself.

 

[Zombie James]

I hope they show some mouse driven stuff. I don't want to swipe with a mouse to bring up a menu.

 

[dude]

This will make me buy a tablet.

This is what tablets should have been from the beggining.

Jesus Christ, this woman is horrible!

NOW ITS EASIER TO WATCH VIDEOS AND POST TO GAF AT THE SAME TIME!

Crotch-crotch-crotch will become the new Password: password.

Applications share system settings? Not sure I like that. Eh probably can override it anyway.

 

[iNvid02]

nice one badly

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Chrome jokes, everybody!

 

[Digishine]

Release it already !!!

 

[Luckyman]

Chrome free achievement unlocked!

 

[HammerOfThor]

Jesus Christ, this woman is horrible!

I couldnt agree more

 

[Totakeke]

You probably want to try out the preview release—and you can. Starting at 8PM today, Seattle time, you can download all of the code that attendees at BUILD received. This includes 32 or 64 bit x86 builds, with or without development tools. The releases also include a suite of sample/SDK applications and the SDK (please note these are merely illustrations of potential apps, not apps that we intend to ship with Windows 8). The ISOs are linked to from http://dev.windows.com. You download with a Windows Live ID (which you might want to use to test out some of the new roaming features).

[ColtraineGF]

Completely Chrome-less <_<

 

[RubxQub]

Uh oh...scroll bar area looked elastic on the ends and only popped up when the screen shifts. Does Apple have that patented? Are we going to have a billion Apple vs. MS threads in the future over silly things like this?

Hope not.

...and yes, these presenters are TERRIBLE.

 

[Digishine]

Lol already doesn't work :/

Looks like I need to make a partition.

They need this guy:

 

[DopeyFish]

well windows is far more complicated than any other OS

so problems can be expected

shit happens

I don't know if you're being serious but it works this way on Windows Phone so I'm guessing there's no problem

Patent agreements. It's already in WP7 and kinetic scrolling is even in Windows 7.

 

[DavieC726]

Dammit, I hope my MBP Boot Camp can handle it!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It isn't a Microsoft conference without something going horribly wrong. It was getting almost TOO good.

 

[raphier]

When will they show what I can do with my mouse?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Holy crap, how did I not know about this?

 

[itwasTuesday]

Charms you say....

Oh snap is this like a prerelease iso of the whole os? Do you I have to install it to you or can I just run it in a "live" mode on a ubs stick? If I have to install it anyway I can uninstall it easily since I won't imagine that this is gonna get updates or anything long term.

SHIIIIIITTTTT Hype x 100000000

 

[Zombie James]

Yay, OS-wide spell checking.

Wasn't aware it was already in WP7, so good good.

I'm just liking what I see in general so I want this shit to smooth to market.

 

[bananas]

Sharing built-in at the OS level.

That universal searching app is pretty nice.

 

[Enkidu]

It looks pretty decent for a tablet actually. However, they don't expect anyone to ever want to see any of this metro stuff on a desktop though, do they?

This would be amazing on desktop too. Beside you can go back to normal windows look if you want.
