    What I posted is not in relation to the thing going on in connect. I myself don't exactly know what is happening, it is apparently some form of update, rumour of it being a beta weighing 2GB. The update above is from MSDN, fixes some bugs apparently.

    Nah, he just posted a old update that fixes a issue.
    Im pretty sure my WDP build had 12-09-11 already last time i used it, as you get updates over Windows Update

    Yes, you are right, my desktop watermark has said that since the first updates came out. Those are just standalone updates.

    maybe a stupid question but as for tile on start menu ---- how will your own / other programs tiles be made ?

    o_O sure there is plans for that but and explanation / experimental program / guide to make your own we can use ..... as the little square box with name in it is just dull compared to color/pic tiles ?

    @TheBlade: I get more than that:

    2011-10-08_224244.jpg

    I've never bothered to click on the last two ... maybe I'll give it a go ...

    EDIT: Clicking on either one merely shows me as logged on and returns me to my current session once I click on my logon Icon.

    EDIT 2: Interesting, you are right, TheBlade:

    2011-10-08_225126.jpg

    Interesting ...

    EDIT 3: After logging off, and then back on, all is OK. Indeed, interesting ...

    Very strange, I restarted my computer and all apps re-appeared but it's still on there ;s my laptop doesn't have it at all. It just puts you to a login screen sayin your user account is logged on, simmilar to switch user ;/
