You sir,

are very hardworking that you prefer taking screenshots than copy/pasting the text and link :)

I had a few bad experiences that when the original post was edited/removed, people mgiht say that I made up things. With a screenshot the proof is solid.

In any case it's simple and easy, no hard-working involved. :)

btw, if you guys wondered what canouna meant by "polished start button", here's how it looks(another screen-shoot)

Instead, to promote a new operating platform. Become familiar with the application of Windows 8 may be found in the latest consumer preview release of Windows Phone SDK has been installed in all sorts of errors can occur, but this is only for Windows Phone version 7.5, and Microsoft has promised to gradually fix them in future, but as close as brothers in a system of three screens and a cloud of Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 and how compatible development?

Although Microsoft does not publicly mention the Apollo for Windows 8 development support, but today a cooperation from China Telecom Group company innovation business division head of development @ Sun ?about Windows 8 Apollo SDK microblogging has aroused widespread concern in the user. Microblogging content display, Windows 8 Release Preview of Build 8,370 Escrow (escrow Preview versions) can download, previously released the Developer Preview Edition and consumer preview release does not support Windows Phone 8 application development and Windows 7 platforms will not be supported in Windows Phone 8 SDK, but also in a State of internal security Windows 8 third-party hosting the preview release, developers can use the Apollo SDK for application development and debugging work. This is the third party hosting of Windows 8 Preview Build 8,370 was first publicly leaked, and direct development needs details of the announced Windows Phone 8.

It has been mentioned in Brandon Leblanc's blog that for Windows 8 (Core):no "Domain Join"; and no "Remote Desktop(host)".

Yes, the aero looks nice. :)

Those aren't new though, that's always been the case between the base/core/home versions vs the pro/business versions they sold. I honestly didn't expect them to be in Win8 just Win8 Pro.

    • Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
    • It's listed #399.99 on Amazon, per your link. It's not $299.99.
