I think there should be a tile/theme color control right on the start screen appbar.

actually I think it should be for every native app in the settings charm of each app.

It would make the whole system much more customizable :)

Also there should be some subtle colors for the start screen.. Like much less intense colors and darker black or a lighter white background.

I would presume 5/6/7pm GMT would be when it is released (5-7hrs from now).

Hoping they put IE 10 new preview up as a standalone download for win7 then too.

Yeah, I'd love to get IE10 on Win7 as well, i use IE9 as my main now so it'd be worth it. I'll also be installing Win8RP in Vbox so it won't be my main OS till it's RTM.

lol, morning

Haven't tried but I wouldn't expect so if you sign in with a live account but I`ll give it a try once I've had my caffeine

This is what I think as well, depending on the type of account you use in Win8 you might or might not be able to delete it.

Hmm , at least apple lets you chose your own Mailing ID , which may not be the apple live ID .

The thinking behind using your MS account is that you want to sync your stuff, that's email and contacts etc etc. Otherwise if you don't then just make a local account and pick what you want to use like before? Besides, I think for most it will be their main emial account.

My guess is one of two things, if you do not ever sign in with a live ID and only make a local account, 1. You won't have access to the mail app at all, similar to not having access to a load of other online MS apps like the store until you do sign in

Or 2. There will be no Hotmail account there at all and you will be able to add other accounts to the mail app

I'm leaning toward number 1 though

Vita hate is totally unwarranted, it was better than XP in EVERY WAY, only people who complain are those who had crappy system specs. And Vista after SP1 was Gold. Of course, Win 7 is totally better, but I'd take Vista over XP any day, no contest.

Yea, most of the world including MS are wrong, but you are right...

Anyway this is not a Vita or a Vista thread.

I agree. Almost every criticism was somehow related to the fact that it was a huge step forward from XP. This meant hardware vendors had to re-write drivers, software vendors had to optimize, and those which didn't had their hardware/software either slow or unusable. Also, 5 year old systems that ran XP were sluggish with Vista. That said, it was a hell of a lot smoother than the OS 9 to OS X transition.

Same is happening with 8, it is another huge step and people will take till 9 to get used to it.

Well it's good to be ahead of the game if you're likely to be dealing with it in the future. Same goes for a lot of industries where the playing field is continuously changing - it's the best way to stay on top of things and avoid playing catchup all the time.

Not really.

A) Early adopters are tech enthusiasts who won't need my help.

B) By the time RTM comes around I will start looking at the OS when its finalised.

C) A lot of businesses are running Windows XP still, I'll have plenty of time before businesses start to pick up Windows 8.

People working in the tech sector - particularly stores and in support - should keep up to date with upcoming releases, like Windows 8. I'm just an enthusiast and have already tried the DP and CP, so I expect people in the sector to be more knowledgeable. Anybody that doesn't will struggle to keep up to date.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
