I did test it early on, but I wasnt big on the fact that lots of your activity is tracked, so I’ll wait until the consumer release, and put it on a spare laptop.
Beside it really isnt nearly finished for my tastes.
Windows PING
NOT ANOTHER UPDATE!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
They’re having a lot of testers because even though Microsoft is defaulting back to the Desktop user interface on desktop and “conventional” laptops, there’s still a lot of major interface changes even compared to Windows 7. And that will require a lot of user testing and feedback to refine.
It comes pre-loaded with Service-Pack 1 to save you time waiting for the fixes.
I installed a couple of months ago, and have had little problem. I kind of like it. Very intuitive —
I gave it to an 11-year-old boy to install on a pretty new computer, and as I watched, he was able to install it with a very minimum of hints. No complaints since, and he is an internet/game user.
Is Prozac usage increasing at the same rate??
Linux Mint installs a lot faster than that.
Get a Mac.
Stephen EFLOP is running their mobile services division? Microsoft must want it killed then based on his track record of killing Nokia
How early was that? I started testing it in November 2014 ... it was pretty rough. The updates in late January 2015 were a HUGE improvement.
Anyone get Cortana to work? She hears me, but I cannot hear her. She does do what I ask - at least tries.
This is with the latest release...
I see Cortana as yet a Star Trek technology that becomes real. In it’s infancy.. And she does pretty good understanding me..
It works fine (for me at least)
“Internet Explorer 12”, being a Windows 8 app, disappears when it crashes—the omni-box is broken, and you can’t disable the search suggestions (this is what causes it to crash).
It is also incompatible with 99.999% of the plugins/addons ever developed for Internet Explorer (from ~1996-present). The only thing that works, is of course, Macromedia Flash...
It should probably be a native app, and Windows NT for ARM can get the universal app...
Haven’t had any serious issues myself. What is actually happening is that Microsoft is employing their user community to test more combinations of hardware than they could ever possibly test themselves. If this prevents another “unsigned driver” issue then I’m all for it.
