Neowin News had reported about the "Metro background changer" function added to win8 new builds, this is another change:

In WDP, this is the gadgets window thru control panel:

win8china showed the gadget window from a new pre-beta build

The function "Get more gadgets on-line" is removed, maybe this operation has to be done thru AppStore.

Alos, the two-color pane in WDP gadget window, probably a color bug, is fixed.

Eagerly awaiting a Windows 8 based WMC. Just hope the Xbox 360 compatability is working out of the box.

Me too. :( Hoping for,

- Better cover art support for TV shows and movies

- PC being able to act as an extender

- Perhaps some kind of online store

- Stream media to mobile devices

Oh, and cheap extenders to go with it. :p Annoying spending $300 when other people are buying Apple TV's for $100 and chucking XBMC on em. :(

      It won't perform hugely better than the 3080 unless you're VRAM limited in games. Have you tried putting new thermal pads on them 3080 and giving it a good clean to see if you can regain your temps and overclock?

      Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
