Noice, very noice :-)

 

Some drivers still have stupid issues with Office 2013.  You want the entire OS glitching out because people are too stupid to update their drivers?

 

Direct2D/DirectWrite can run in hardware accelerated mode as well as software based rendering - the software based rendering performance is better than GDI/GDI+. Nothing is stopping them from maintaining a list of 'problematic GPU's' that fall back to software mode when present.

I'm sure they have their reasons whether we agree with some of them or not.

I hope it is a product of something real rather than a situation of "we can't be stuffed" given Microsoft's refusal to even fix the most basic user interface inconsistencies in the past. Move over to Direct2D/DirectWrite would help not only performance but also scalability when it comes to hi-dpi configurations etc. I can understand having legacy support in the form of libraries for old applications but there is no reason why the built in components of an operating system aren't moving forward and utilising the latest libraries as a show case of the strengths relating to that new library.

CORTANA Running in Early Build (more updated then Neowin's image),Is this the most updated UI?:

Wasn't this the case with early builds of Vista - and even XP (older drivers causing OS glitches)?

 

Aren't some folks refusing to update their drivers today with Windows 8.1 update 1 (which has driver parity with the Tech Preview and Server 2012R2)?

Windows Insider Feedback: Phrases used per build number:

 

Notice how OneDrive does not appear in 9860, but look how many times it appears in 9879.

[ToneKnee]

The one thing I've hated about services like Cortana, Siri etc is the long delay between answers.  I know it needs to check against databases etc but until they can speed this up a lot more, I won't be using them.

[Guest]

^^ Well, that is just nice. But I still wouldn't use the OS as my main. Maybe next year, when they have a more stable version of VS vNext.

Fellow 9879 users: you'll have to deinstall Office to get all security updates. After that, you can install Office again.

Wow.....Classic Microsoft  :rolleyes:  

[TDT]

Well, guess I'll wait till the next build then, since I'm too lazy to reinstall Office. :P I wonder what's the connection between the installer and Office though :huh:

Wow classic beta issues.

[WindowsUser10]

Wow classic beta issues.

That is true but, most of the stuff that MS releases these days has some usability issue or the other Eg:- Halo Masterchief collection,Xbox Music & Video apps on Windows Phone,Windows 8,etc.

you try getting such big programs to work perfectly. it's not that easy, there's going to be something you miss no matter how much testing you do

 

everyone has this issue not just MS

Most of the stuff = mentions Xbox stuff only.

[WindowsUser10]

Most of the stuff = mentions Xbox stuff ony.

I also mentioned the usability issue of Windows 8's horrible UI & broken Windows Phone apps

 

 

Anyways...here's something interesting on Windows 10:- http://news.softpedia.com/news/Windows-10-With-a-Subscription-This-Could-Happen-466889.shtml

ah, you mean "opinion"

I just noticed this, could someone update the poll with Windows 10 instead of Windows 9? :P

That seems reasonable.

1. I do not have editing rights anymore, since Neowin does not give out long-term editing ability (which they should for good standing members even without a sub)

2. This poll and thread was created before it was called Windows 10

3. I didn't want to bother the mods, because they are very busy and I didn't think it was necessary because hopefully "10" was implied. :p

4. I'd love to help out with this kind of stuff (maybe a new group: Forum Maintenance?)

 

That seems reasonable.

 

Windows 9 still appears as a choice for the second question.

D'oh. :p

Which part of "Windows Technical Preview" made you think it was a final release similar to Halo:MCC, Xbox Music& Video? All three of them are cluster######s of unbelievable proportions but Windows 10 doesn't get grouped with them yet.
