Why does anybody need to read pdf's full screen? I made xchange the default reader...ooh, what a relief!
Compared with most on this forum, I will be pretty late in installing WCP but I shall do it on this weekend. WCP x64 shows itunes as incompatible. Is that so?? More important, do I need to install this: Visual C++ 2005, 2008, 2010 (x64)-I did this on win 7 x64 and wanted to know if some are now baked into WCP. Net 4 or perhaps Net 4.5 DP. I think Net 4.5 replaces 4 and so one needs to install only one. But if Net 4 is also built into, I can avoid installing net 4.5 altogether. Please help.
Just double click the iso, it gets mounted automatically. To dismount, go to the right drive letter under "Computer" and right click, select Eject.
There have been *several* versions of .NET Framework - each requires a different runtime. However, Windows 8 (both Developer and Consumer Previews) handles runtimes the slickest way *any* version of Windows ever has - if any application or game needs a runtime that isn't present, Windows will go out and fetch it in the background - without interrupting the install.
Dear Microsoft, I live in India, not in Somalia! Stop showing me "This app is not supported in your country"! Do hell with your Bing-powered apps that are totally USA-biased! Windows 8 Consumer Preview is the most over-rated trash to ever ship out of Redmond! I request Bill Gates to kindly eradicate this dual-UX from Windows after he succeeds in eradicating Malaria!
I mean right now the Mail app only syncing new emails but it won't sync old emails that I have in the inbox.
Well my first impressions of Win 8 CP are... vast improvement over the DP version. It's actually quite useable for me. I'm not gonna use it as my main OS yet. Still to quirky, but it's fine for my netbook. I still think metro is one ugly mother of a front end. thankfully I can actually use desktop mode most of the time so I don't have to put up with it too much. Judging by how win 8 has evolved I'm guessing that The DP version was essentially metro UI centric because I found it difficult to remain in desktop mode and do anything useful. No surprises there coz they are redesigning windows for the tablet market. The CP version has now integrated most of the old desktop abilities. The lack of the start button is annoying, but i can access programs using the search option in metro (essentially the start menu), so it's not a deal breaker as such. I expect to see the return of the start button on the desktop in the next beta or the final release and the vile metro look will disappear from my screen forever.
I had an issue on IE10 not loading as well on Metro IE. Videos and pictures are fine. I updated my display driver. Fortunately it solved the problem.
How exactly to you open Metro IE? I see Internet Explorer but the only one I can find is for the Desktop browser not the Metro?
