I say that anyproduct that I require to use "patches" to recover what I had before is doomed, so Win 8 still a fail for me, is just that some users are kind enough to do the patch :D

so you meant to same, everything should be done by MS only?

Assume Windows 8 provides Aero feature and someone writes a mod to disable it and you like it. The concludes Windows 8 is doomed?

Yes, I agree that Windows 8 still needs much refinement, doesn't mean it's doomed. You can make it better by using it not by ignoring it

It applies to everyone, just as the PS3 removing Otheros for example. It's the action, not the fact that MS does it or not.

@ Squuiid, the up down meter is  http://www.floriangilles.com/software/netspeedmonitor/, enable compatibility mode for it to work, besides that there is no problem on win8.

I got 20keys, sent me a pm with your pc code for a key ;)

 

First to tell me where to actually enter the key to activate the donation version will get the first key xD

 

Did you go to this URL and enter your machine code? I was under the understanding that once you did it automatically generated you a registry file to download and merge

nope it didn't I got a "license.key"  file which I don't know how to use...

Can you no longer merge .key files in Windows 8? The only other thought that occurs is to pop it in the folder with the DLLs but I presume you've already tried that?

Nope I was dumb lol

That worked, I just had to put the license.key file in the aeroglass folder xD

 

Still have around 20 keys left btw

20 keys to what ? This project is not open source ?

Idkw if it's opensource but it shows a popup everytime on startup and you can disable those popups by adding a license key file which I got quite a few of after a donation ;)

oh

 

you should keep yourself some licenses

 

No, it cannot. License is dependent on your CPU model and your HDD/SSD. License can be used only on the computer which it was generated for. However, everyone gets at least two licenses to be used as you want - you can use the second license for the different computer and leave it for the future upgrade of your PC. When you upgrade your HDD or CPU, you will need new license. The license stays same when you upgrade other hardware.

I do, I just don't have that many pc's so I'm giving away some keys, I just donated a bit more then 3 usd to hopefully motivate the person working on this project ^^

You all just put your license.key file in the aeroglass folder and you stopped getting the donation pop-up??? I did that, and I'm still getting the pop-up. Very annoying. After multiple restarts trying to make Aero Glass recognize the .key file, I even ran the Setup again, hoping that would do the trick, but no luck.

 

Any help with this would be appreciated. Thx.

Its a shame it has not been updated to be Windows 8.1 compatible. :(

I'm getting crazy of all these people demanding windows 8.1 compatible stuff while windows 8.1 hasn't been (officially) released yet....

The preview has been out for awhile now, so you would think developers would update their software before Windows 8.1 RTM gets released to the public.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
