[OFFICIAL] Windows 10 Insider Program

[Max Norris]

oh comn....ctrl+v in cmd is a  "feature"?

It's been a major omission since forever.. plenty of options to replace it with a better shell but it sure would be nice to have one built in that finally doesn't suck.

Charms Bar is still here! :woot:

 

However, Joe says it will evolve.

oh come on....ctrl+v in cmd is a  "feature"?

 

Yes, since it wasn't there before, when was the last time you used the command prompt?

That recycle bin icon

With Windows 10 and touch, swiping in from the left triggers a touch friendly version of the new Task View.

It's no more out of place than some of the things Apple lists as "new features" in OS X.

is the event going to end soon? wtf felt like it just started !

[Stoffel]

I need to try it out obviously, but I liked the way you could change apps by just swyping from the left

Lets see how this new feature works

[George P Global Moderator]

They're showing off the new dynamic UI feature, gives you a different UI depending on the device type.   kb+mouse only, kb+mouse+touch and so on.

Windows Insider Program starts up tomorrow, with a desktop and laptop preview build.   Server build after that, consumer early next year.

Seems like they finally got rid of that "Start" header... :)

Q: Can you talk about the name? Seems weird going from Windows 8 to Windows 10.

A: This product, when you see the product in your fullness I think you'll agree with us that it's a more appropriate name.

 

there you go

[0nyX]

Very unsatisfying answers on the QA

[vcfan]

Q: You mentioned screens ranging from 4 inches to 80 inches. Is Windows 10 the next version of the phone operating system too?

A: Yes.

[freak180]

ask about the icon wouldnt someone please think of the icons!!!!

[Quillz]

So, sounds like an open beta of sorts tomorrow? Since I assume anyone can join the Insider Program.

Wish that Insider Program is not restricted to US only or some stupid regions and I really want to look deep into IE12.

Build 9841 is obviously an early build and in the middle of refining the UI. Give them time to renew the icons.

Windows 10 looks to be a winner. Can't wait to see consumer features. :woot:

werent you the one who said you have no plans to upgrade >.>

[Quillz]

Assuming the ISO is a public beta release tomorrow, I've got a VM all set up and ready to go.

 

If this works like the Yosemite public beta, I assume the Insider Program will more or less just be a program running inside the TP where we can type in our feedback and submit bugs.

[Dot Matrix]

Anyone else notice whit text in the titlebars? :woot:

I think it's safe to say that eventually DM will warm up to whatever MS is doing..  :shifty:

Somehow it will still turn to black if you choose to have black window chrome.

Q: Now it's Windows 10, will we see future versions named after big cats?

 

somebody kick this guy out of there

There's a video of the new Continuum feature up at the verge.   Basically the new start menu and windowed apps will change (if you want) on hybrid devices once the keyboard is detached and it's turned into a tablet.   Windowed apps go full screen and the new start menu turns full screen into a "newish" start screen. 

 

I fully expect this type of UI to be just what hybrid devices see,  pure tablets will probably see a different start screen UI and other touch controls that we'll find out about later.   In fact I'm betting the new start screen for touch only devices will be the same between WP10 and Windows 10 or whatever they name the new phone and tablet ARM version.  While x86 hybrids and pure desktops without touch get a slightly different UI but with key elements that are shared, like the live tiles and of course the universal apps from the single Windows Store that they're working on.
