Perfect, a giant blue screen.

I think it's more purple than blue. Regardless, this is good news.

I'd like to know if "release preview" is another name for "release candidate".

Not eager on its release but standing at the side lines to see how it will turn out.

bad thing ASUS won't update their sound card drivers by then...

If you are using P5LD2, don't think ASUS will put up drivers for it anymore.

Since it uses a Realtek ALC882, maybe you can check out Realtek to see if they have new drivers.

Using a P5KSE myself and it haven't been any updates since Vista time, though it runs Win7 ok.

ASUS wants users to upgrade :p

On the other hand if its the Xonar audio cards then you can check out this driver:

yeah that's my old one i am now on a P7P55M with Xonar DX. and i did try the unified drivers on W8 to no success unfortunately.

thanks anyway :)

Canouna was right , he told about its arrival at end of may/beg of june in march!

(A month ago)

From the UI side, some slight changes for the Charm bar, Language input menu, Internet Explorer 10 (Desktop version), a bunch of color set, etc?

And what we know now is flatter buttons for Explorer and more metroish Windows Aero theme.

    • Online didn't launch until October of 2013. So no one could play it. Even then there were issues.
    • Google Finance is now out of beta with improved portfolio tracking and a new Android app by Karthik Mudaliar Google is taking its redesigned Google Finance experience out of beta and adding several new features, including portfolio tracking, scheduled market briefings, and a dedicated Android app. The company says the updates are beginning to roll out globally this week, while an iOS app is planned for later in 2026. The most notable addition is the new portfolio feature. Instead of entering every investment manually, users can upload a screenshot, CSV file, or PDF containing their holdings. They can also tell Google Finance what they own using natural language, such as the number of shares held in a particular company or fund. Google Finance will then place those investments into a dashboard showing performance, asset allocation, concentration risk, and the holdings responsible for the biggest gains or losses. Existing portfolios created with the older version of Google Finance should appear automatically. The built-in AI research panel can use the portfolio as context when answering questions. For example, users can ask which sectors are underrepresented or how their fixed-income allocation could affect long-term growth. Google says portfolio data will remain private and that uploaded files and images will not be retained. Users will also be able to edit or delete their portfolio information after it has been imported. Google Finance is also getting scheduled tasks. These let users request recurring reports such as a daily summary of overnight cryptocurrency movements or a weekly update about newly announced initial public offerings. There is also a new Google Finance app for Android. It includes watchlists, interactive charts, real-time market data, a live news feed, and the same AI research panel available on the web. Google has been gradually expanding the AI-powered Finance redesign since it first entered testing. In April, the experience was expanded to more than 100 countries, bringing its research tools, advanced charts, and market news to a much larger audience. That was followed by a wider European rollout in May, which added features including live earnings calls, transcripts, and AI-generated summaries. The ability to import an entire portfolio from a screenshot or document should make Google Finance considerably easier to set up. However, Android users will have to wait for feature parity with the web version, and Google has yet to say exactly when the iOS app will arrive.
