I hope they do a drastic overhaul in the multi desktop interface. Launching apps in different desktops is problematic at best. There needs to be more clear separation between the desktops on many different levels that you just don’t see in this current build.
I'm pretty curious about the result, too. If it will be positive is another question. I provided some feedback as well (not about the boot screen or other cosmetics ) but stopped using Windows 10 (installed only in a VM) after some days because right now, the few new features available are, apart from being half-baked, not worth to use the OS on a daily basis. Missing localization is another ingredient. Therefore, I'm gonna wait until they push out a new build and revive that virtual machine for a couple of days to provide them a little more feedback and keep that procedure until it reached a point where it becomes a serious usable alternative to stable Windows 8.1. Addition: After all, I see this whole new feedback process will not only beneficial for Microsoft to deliver a better user experience, but also to reduce internal testing resources over time. It's kind of like outsourcing of the product testing unit, or "dog-fooding" as they call it, without being responsible if something breaks (soft- or hardware-wise).
I have 8.1 with legal key.If I install 10 preview can it be made activated with my 8.1 key or will it have to be uninstalled when the full version is released? I don't want to just uninstall and go to full version.Thanks.
Someone made a statement about the audio system in Windows 10 - Im not sure if it was an interview or some of the conference videos.
You are running bit perfect so then what does the OS have to do with it???? If you are running digital out to an a/v then I don't get it? Regards
First of all, it’s important to note that between Windows 3 and Windows 7, versions of Windows were designated by a name rather than a number: 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, Vista, and so on. When Microsoft announced Windows 7, there was actually a similar amount of disbelief/pushback; after a series of named versions of Windows, it seemed odd to jump back to numbers. Windows 8: Actually version 6.3 Windows 8.1: Actually version 6.3, build 9600 There’s also the odd fact that the name of each Windows release doesn’t actually match the real version number; for example, Windows 8.1 is actually version 6.3 of Windows. Windows 10 is version 6.4. The last time the release name actually matched the version number was Windows NT 4.0, which was released back in 1996. Windows 2000, which was called NT 5.0 during development, was actually version 5.0. Windows XP was version 5.1. Windows Vista was 6.0, Windows 7 was 6.1, Windows 8 was 6.2, and Windows 8.1 is version 6.3. (WinRT, which powers Metro, is a new and separate beast, but it still sits on top of the core Windows kernel.)Technically, modern versions of Windows are still based on the Vista kernel/code base — including Windows 10, which is actually Windows 6.4.
