Would love to see the ability to add tags to any file in Windows, that would make search valuable, that and folder previews which allowed you to show a full photo preview like XP did instead of the half photo perspective view since vista

You cold add tags to files in Windows since Vista...

I don't think anyone noticed or talked about this but in build 9385 they now have a setting for auto scaling the desktop, up to 200% as well. Seems like you don't have to go in and mess with it manually now though I dunno how good it'll work but we'll see.

Seeing the date and how close we're getting to BUILD, does seem 9400 will be m2/public preview build, they'll run it internally for a few weeks at least before they let us download it officially at the conference in June.

    • Nah. They'll milk the current generation in terms of design - controllers, consoles, but no meaningful hardware improvements. This is one reason why people aren't buying Xbox hardware - it's stagnant.
    • Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.
    • YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS
