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.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
