^ Couldn't they have redone the fucking icons to match the rest of it?
- Folder icons? Yeah they should redesign those. But they are easily changeable if you really want.benfal99
- Why should I have to do their job for them.
Also I found an old win 95 folder icon while digging aroundanimatedgif

I've been using the beta for ages, everything seems to run fine on it - Games, Adobe Suite, etc.
Ignoring RT for now, waiting for Surface Pro pricing.

Such a fucking joke, then again this is the company that drenches your TV in adverts even when you subscribe to xbox- oh wowmonospaced
- I know. I hate when they try to make you aware of new games, peripherals and movies you may be interested in.ETM
- It's regional though. So some get it worse than others.ETM
- Anyone else noticed these? I haven't.

"As a Mac user, please tell me what other features make this better other than the whole tile thin."
There are serious under the hood security improvements, that's the main thing it has going for it.

AN FRANCISCO (AP) — Microsoft bills Windows 8 as a "re-imagining" of the personal computer market's dominant operating system, but the company still has a lot of work to do before the makeover captures the imagination of most consumers, based on the results of a recent poll by The Associated Press and GfK.
The phone survey of nearly 1,200 adults in the U.S. found 52 percent hadn't even heard of Windows 8 leading up to Friday's release of the redesigned software.
Among the people who knew something about the new operating system, 61 percent had little or no interest in buying a new laptop or desktop computer running on Windows 8, according to the poll. And only about a third of people who've heard about the new system believe it will be an improvement (35 percent).
- haha.. and there's the MS legacy biting itself in the ass.d_rek

just managed to create a partition. gonna install soon.
hopefully i didn't bugger my boot drive. can't deal with a crash now.- as i understand if you have two OS booting on a system this affects the master boot record, the MBR can sometimes crash.i_was
- it didn't crash, but it did change it to 'dynamic' drives, and windows 8 won't install on it...sine
- don't know how to fix that, but at least my master boot still works and i can use the new partition for data.sine
