Keep in mind this is an alpha build, the release will be very very different. The search in control panel is like prealpha and only readily for debugging at the moment. If you don't want to use the new PC Settings there's a switch at the bottom to disable it!

I'm aware that its an early build, just commenting on what I see.

No hard feelings.

"High Contrast White" color scheme should be made default.

What does it look like in Blue? It bothered me in 8 that the high contrast themes were the only way you could actually customize the chrome a little bit.

I was being sarcastic. :laugh: Windows 7 was full of color. Windows 8 seems to have moved backwards onto a VGA color palette. What next, black and white only?

No, I don't think so. The simplified UI design's actually not as bad as I thought - it just takes some time to adjust. I was forced onto Outlook.com from Hotmail. The first 10 minutes of using it was a bit annoying, but a few days later, I'm pretty happy with it.

So you can do the 50/50 snap now for metro apps, but can you have more than 2 onscreen at a time as well?

Yes, if you have a high enough screen resolution it will allow you to do 3 and even 4 onscreen at the same time.

Everyone going on about choice, you have choice. You have the choice to install any of a number of 3rd party menu or UI tweaks that you want. It's the same as it always has been, we've had start menu replacements since vista if not longer.

or even replace explorer as your default shell (LiteStep is still around I think). :/ Some people just like to complain.

I dislike how the new search bar in the settings pages overlap the title.

Is it a floating bar? Like it stays there as you scroll.

I had the same issue, but it ended up being the resolution of the VM. Once I put it in a widescreen resolution it looked fine and the overlap ceased.

I've tried it on VirtualBox, lags like a bitch though, how is everyone else's experience on VM?

Once I got the hang of Hyper-V in Win8 Pro, it works fine. Win8 Blue is fast and responsive, I can't move tiles around though and I'm unsure if that is a byproduct of this being a pre-release build or me running it in Hyper-V.

It seems you only can move tiles in Customize mode now. Same with group renaming.

I assume you cleared out your username and that isn't some goofy search box on SS? :)

The 50/50 is just ok. The 3x and 4x screens are just silly.

It's not a fixed 50/50 it can just as well be 60/40 it sounds like. Unlike the desktop snap it's not preset it seems. You could then have two snapped apps with the desktop in the middle if you want.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
