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:

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.

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
