The Windows 8 Metro Experience 1 Day Time-lapse!


Recommended Posts

It's warwagon....did you expect a funny part?

I mean, usually I understand the point even though it's not funny... but this time, I don't even know what the point is? What's it trying to show here? >.<

If Metro is the new start then you will constantly be going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and between your desktop and the Metro UI.

All good and well, but did you see how smooth it switched between the metro and desktop side of Win 8

Looks good too me. :)

I barely ever used the start menu in Win7, so that wouldn't change much using Win8

Also if you are going to use a lot of desktop apps, just pin them to your desktop or taskbar, problem solved

(back and forth)^?

The point he is trying to make (which is so not true it's far from funny) is that Metro/Immersive users will be jumping back and forth between the StartScreen and the desktop.

What an indecisive user. Usually people actually...do things on computers.

I mean, I know I for a fact just love clicking the start button, exiting out of it without doing anything, then clicking again. Actually, this is even MORE stupid, because theroetically, the start screen is providing a CRAPLOAD of more info when compared to the start button in windows 8, so they COULD be popping it up fairly frequently, but most likely because they're checking 1) email, 2) facebook, 3) weather, 4) RSS feeds..etc... all at once...which dosn't strike me as an insult to the OS that this "joke" is supposed to be.

I use the start menu all the time, definitely the above video shows what i would be doing.

You should have seen the fit he through when DOS went to Windows, I'm guessing he was in diapers but his mom still grew tired of it!

I am in some agreement, I ran the Win8 for about 3 months as my primary OS. I am willing to try and see where MS is heading with this and reserve judgement till the next beta.

But yeah, I think I will love the tablet UI, and it will be strange on the desktop. It might even be a big mistake. But I will wait and see.

Very nice system tray on the right. 25 icons.

Thanks My Normal resolution is 1920 by 1200. So I have plenty of room .Had to dumb it down to record the video.

Thread reported for no sense at all and just plain spam.

This is not spam. In fact this is how I envision a typical metro experience. Why wouldn't it be just like this? I mean you click start and "THAT" pops up.

    • In addition to the "sidebar app list" and "Collections" features, Microsoft will also deprecate the "Drop" feature. Before you publish this news and credit another site, here is the original source: https://x.com/i/status/2067838711870439583 .
    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
