Am I the only one that thinks they should use the zune/metro style border for all windows and metrofry all the applications.

Last night, ie, December 29, 2011 it became known that the assembly of a candidate in the official beta version of Microsoft Windows 8 Beta was signing and signed (Sign-Off), and so the official beta version will be assembled: 6.2.8175.winmain.111217 -1215

So once December 12, 2011 we reported on the early stage of signing the Microsoft Windows 8 Beta: "the future beta build will be collected up to Christmas ie until December 24, 2011," that we see what happened December 17, 2011 .. .

It is a device (tablet and mobile phones) with this assembly 6.2.8175.winmain.111217-1215 will be holding a Sinovski Steve (Steven Sinofsky) and Steve Ballmer (Steven Ballmer) at Consumer Electronics Show CES 2012 that will take place from 10 to 13 in January 2012.

Microsoft's partners will receive this assembly at the end of January 2012.

Recall that on January 30, 2012 in the Microsoft internal conference is scheduled, ie, the global corporate seating which will debut a wide range of Microsoft employees and partners of the company official beta version of Microsoft Windows 8 beta: 6.2.8175.winmain.111217-1215

At this point, the assembly: 6.2.8175.winmain.111217-1215 is available for a very limited range of workers (engineers, development teams signatories) from Microsoft, each installation of the signed private key for that reason right now, "accidental release" will not, however, We are not sure that this does not happen on 12-14 January 2012

Be patient and wait for Bill Gates is working on it ...

What I made from that is no public beta?

What I made from that is no public beta?

According to canouna, build 8175 is quite buggy:

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/30295-News-Discussions-on-Windows-8-Beta-(Sources-WinUnleaked-amp-others)/page81?p=524101&viewfull=1#post524101

Some bugs...

1) Win+R, then type msconfig, go in startup tab, and click on "Open Task Manager" and you get a "Task Manager has stopped working"

2) In IE10, go on youtube, open 3 tabs with a video, get a BSOD.

3) Touch Keyboard is crazy, and if you do a fast typing, he crash.

4) Software issue: just launch cpuZ make crash your OS.

Need to continue?

I guess there is still quite of lot of coding/debugging before it reaches official public beta(build 8200,8300? who knows?). :/

What I made from that is no public beta?

Yeah, MS is really keeping the builds under lock and key this time around. Public beta is scheduled for sometime in February, so I guess they want to give their partners a first look at it before releasing the same build to the public, barring any major issues.

But damn you MS, why must you make me wait two more months? :pinch:

Doesn't sound too good now does it :p.

I thought the beta sign off was public beta? Or am I getting confused?

It's not the public beta, I am not sure about the "sign-off" meant by WZOR, according to a schedule reported by him earlier (page4,post#54); it marks the accomplishment of a important stage, where a build(8175) is picked from some choices as the candidate for the public beta.

According to a MS China employee, the sign-off of the public beta is expected around mid-Feb, and refering to the WZOR schedule, and also MS has officially announced that the beta release is in late-Feb., don't expect any official release until then.

Rumors were flying around that a leak of 8175 is expected soon, well, rumors are rumors, I am not expecting too much. :D

A few days ago there were rumors that DellChina has the "beta escrow"...well, now it seems it could be the 8175. :rolleyes:

Wonder what else is new?!?! They really didn't show us anything with 8175 at CES outside of being able to zoom out and in on the start screen using the mouse or the kb.

^ So we have two Start icons now? :huh:

when you use a touch screen monitor and touch at the right it will bring up the new "charm bar" people that like Windows 7 it will look and act pretty much the same so no worries there.

What is the build number for the upcoming public beta?

Don't know yet but if they're in the 818x builds now and we know the beta will come in late Feb I guess it's safe to say that 8200 could be the beta build.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.123 alongside its annual developer conference, Build 2026. This release, as always, has a heavy focus on advanced AI agent integration and making the built-in browser more robust. Notably, this update brings big sync changes that keep your AI agents persistent across sessions. With this update, VS Code now supports cross-machine syncing for chat histories, touched files, repository contexts, and related PRs via GitHub accounts, tying users even more into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem. This update also introduces the new /chronicle command that allows you to query past sessions using natural language, generate instant standup reports, and get personal productivity insights. Microsoft has also made some improvements to network-dependent operations, it explains: “When a terminal command that is run by a local agent requires access to domains that are not configured as allowed domains, the command is automatically retried inside the sandbox with unrestricted network access. After that, if it still fails, it falls back to unsandboxed execution. This allows network-dependent operations such as git fetch to finish, while keeping filesystem protections in place.” Microsoft has not stopped there; in this update, it also allows developers to drag, drop, and pin multiple agent sessions side-by-side for easy code comparisons in real-time. It also introduces the Research Agent, accessible via /research. This is a read-only, depth-optimized tool that gets data from the web, local codebase, and GitHub to give you a Markdown report on complex APIs or unfamiliar code. Now, let’s talk about the integrated browser and some security enhancements. VS Code 1.123 features enhanced screenshot capture tools that allow for targeted Area Screenshots and Full Page Screenshots to send layout context instantly to AI chat. The address bar has also been revamped, supporting favorite pages and tab management. Finally, on the security front, this update introduces a safety-first two-hour delay on third-party extension auto-updates to safeguard against compromised or buggy releases. This release is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have VS Code, keep an eye out for the update availability notification. If you still don’t have VS Code, you can get it here.
    • I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.
    • Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!
    • wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
