Wooo, wait a min, looking at your screenshot, at the taskbar. Does this mean you can set different behavior between the different screens? What I mean is, on the left the pinned icons show text but on the right they're the default it seems. Is that the case? And how did I miss this?

Yeah, the taskbar on the primary monitor can be configured independently to secondary monitors:

With all my new apps (new office and new creative suite), happy :)

And yes the multi monitor options are far better in W8! But wait a sec, its just for tablets right? haha (not aimed at anyone in this thread, just at haters in general) :)

Can't wait to get the updated desktop tile UI we've seen in the surface demo. That should help things out. I also want more customization options though. I think letting you have different types of tile "themes" would be a good idea as well. Instead of just the default look, there could be a few more options.

Do you have pictures or video of it? I am curious about it.

Seeing all the screen shots, I really want to install the preview.

I found one image:

(Look at the bigger app icons on the tiles. Btw Lightroom icon still smaller, so it looks like not all applications will have big icons)

I'd love to see MS port the small tile option we've seen coming in WP8 to Win8 as well, for those who will have lots of things pinned by don't want to have to scroll left and right a lot. Of course some will say "just use zoom" but that's an extra step, unless they give you an option to go to a zoomed out view first and then zoom in after that. I just think there should be a few more options to combat "endless scrolling" which is one thing people brought up with WP7 and now we got the smaller tiles in WP8 and no right side gutter etc.

in RTM Windows 8, you can choose a color taskbar and a white window decoration by changing EnableWindowColorization to 0 in regedit

Wow, I thought they removed that option. I personally want a black taskbar but the only thing that stops me is the black font on the title bar. It's great that we have this option now.

Yeah but doesn't this mean that the windows are now just default white without color. That's what it seems like to me. So unless you are ok with white titlebars for your windows then this is not for you.

With all that white on Explorer and Office (on the Preview, at least), I'll probably (well, hopefully) learn to ignore a few more pixels of white :D

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      What pushed me away from edge was the massive enshitification, constantly adding more and more bloat. Coupled with the constant changes in UI, and especially in the settings. Want to change the default search from Bing to whatever, you would have use search to know the three places to go and change. Then 6 months down the road, the Edge settings area gets a major update/change and doing the same task, changing the default search is now moved to three new locations. This never stops. They do this in Azure and its so insanely irritating. I am a huge OneNote user and they have effed it up so many times in the last 5 years....same for Outlook. People walk away from Microsoft products out of exhaustion.

      Mac does nothing of the sort. You can change the default browser very easily it does not nag you and when you do this, it does not open something still in Safari....like Windows does with Edge.

      I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.

      On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
