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

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
