Windows 8 8220 x64 Screens Leaked :D


Recommended Posts

Guess we can assume this build was leaked from the OEM "OQO" since they forgot to photoshop the username out.

From the powershell? Yea I saw that too. However OQO ceased trading in 2009. So they are possibly still being sent software even though they are no longer trading.

YES...we can all agree here that the UI looks the worst its ever been but imagine the possibilities of customizing this monster into something beautiful :D

Words of wisdom. Though I'm really unsure as to how Microsoft could develop such an undeveloped UI in the first place.

It's easy to bang on about how it's not yet BETA etc, the same is said for games and other software yet not much of the noticed problems are changed. I'm really disappointed in the look of Windows 8. Metro is interesting, works on my phone, on a tablet and Xbox but for a PC, but they have REALLY dropped the ball this time - I have no problem with Metro included but at least integrate it into the "Desktop" design and not bolt it on like an afterthought - Shabby.

Am I the only one that loves the UI. I know it'll be hard to learn for non-techies but I love it. No start button = more space on the superbar.

Start screen improvents, Ribbon is apparently cleaner and more organized.

I will reserve judgement until I've had the chance to try the Win8 CP. While I'm still skeptical I'm willing to give it a chance to convince me it's worth upgrading to the final product.

No, I love it as well! The cleaner taskbar, having information at a glance, and great apis for developers mean that Windows 8 is shaping up to be a great OS in my opinion!

How about "System Reset"? No more long hours spent reinstalling drivers, files, etc.... ;)

nope, doesnt do it for me. i might format my machines once every 2 years. plus, SSDs make formatting and reinstalling pretty quick ;)

Fair enough. I am still thinking. I will get back to you. See, this all goes back to the fact that it is a matter of personal preference. :) We are each free to chose if we like the OS or not. Some people don't see it that way obviously. Personally, I really like Windows 8 and I do plan to upgrade.

Are those new icons?

If they are, Recycle Bin looks hideous.

Un-sure, they aren't default icons but are hidden in one of the .dll files. Canouna just changed them, lots of the old icons are still present. The recycle bin icon is just one still left over that Microsoft still haven't removed.

SSD doesn't apply customisation faster. It also doesn't install the drivers & your application automatically faster than the "System reset".

But what's funny is that you can already do full backup of your system with W7 without any 3rd party software, it's already built in!

/none care if you are convinced about W8 or not.

Glad I'm not the only one liking the new UI, it seems more people hate it than like it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much honestly. I think alot of that has to do with people fearing that they will lose control and customization capabilities. However, certain customizations themselves end up making Windows a usability nightmare. Flashy UI isn't always the best. Sadly, many people will never see it that way.

Yes it is true that backup is built in, but this simplifies it. Click a button and off it goes to take care of all of the tedious work related to maintaining backups (which is great news for the average user). :)

so the beta will expire in 1 year hmm :p

m sure it will take a while to be become habitual to the new look of the superbar... i don't think ms devs are fools , they must have figured out a better efficient way after killing start button (which in win8 serves no purpose). One good thing is that we can access control panel from charm bar now ...

so many leaks may be we can expect CP release shortly?

20 feb (official date maybe)

youre right - it's just that the 'new' feature in Windows 8 doesnt apply to me. so im still trying to figure out why i might need Windows 8 :laugh:

You know what I find funny - I remember when Windows 2000 came out, it was seen as the ultimate operating system for the hard core Windows user then Windows XP came out and it was ridiculed by 'had core Windows users' as being merely 'fisher price' GUI and how it was only a pretty face and nothing serious. Windows Vista came out and these same people said that Windows XP was absolutely awesome then suddenly a year or so later these same people said that Windows Vista had matured and that the bashing (of course that *THEY* never did *rolls eyes*) were by uninformed people. Same thing for Windows 7 and I'll promise you that the same thing will happen with Windows 8.

Want to know what is pathetic - the fact that people are making a value judgement based on a incomplete customer preview not quite beta version of a project still in progress and concluding that based on a few screen shots that what they see will be the final product. Every time I see some posts here I die a little inside.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
