I noticed something interesting about that Release Preview download page, them saying that you won't be able to use a recovery partition after you install Windows 8, meaning that whole F10 to restore your PC thing might be rendered useless. Considering that's what I use to restore my computer all the time, I don't think I'm going to touch this, not until release at least.

It said the same thing for the past two releases, so hopefully you haven't installed either of them!

I've installed Consumer Preview and still was able to recover from my F10 partition. o_O I dual boot between Windows 7 and Windows 8 Consumer Preview and was able to restore just fine.

Then you shouldn't have any issues with the release preview.

I know someone is going to disagree with me, but the whole start panel is a small 5x5 pixel hover over button on the taskbar is still stupid still hateing that

the charm pull out on the right has this large area to hover over, the "start" panel has this tiny lowest corner... seems inconsistant

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...

      They’re really desperate to ingrain AI into society hoping to tug the heart strings of public to jump unto the boat of destruction to humanity’s individualism.
