Well i'm excited. So much fresher, love the community section aswell... I can imagine live feeling more 'lively' now. though 1 thing i've not really noticed.. where are all the ads like the blades interface has? hope they dont go adding them later.

I wonder what the new interface will look like when you hit the xbox360 button during gameplay?

Probably that small blade system shown during the presentation and all over the forums.

I'm not sure how we can comment purely on efficiency yet as far as I know, nobody here from Neowin has used it. It still also has 4-6 months before a release, so I wouldn't doubt they are going to leave it as is.

Looks alright. Problem is I'm usually playing a game or watching a video while I'm on my Xbox so the eye candy is pointless - just like it is in Vista.

Shame they got a narrator who keeps raising the pitch of his voice at the end of each sentence as if he was constantly asking questions, but without the question structure. That annoys me to no end.

EDIT: ok, so he does it for random words, not just at the end of sentences. For goodness sake, just talk properly lol.

    • illegally? Proof of that? Seems you are posting misinformation or well a pure straight up lie cause there is zero proof of such a thing. But I get it...

It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations.

    • They'll get cheaper RAM but they won't drop the prices.
    • Did you go into settings > engines and switch some more stuff on. The more you enable the slower it will get but the better the results will be
