    Yes, I know. It should be possible - but isn't.

    Also in build 9364.

    Another bug: Can anybody move/arrange tiles which are set to "small" size ? I can't.

    Have you tested this one with actual hardware? That's very exciting if true.

    I noticed that if you launch a modern-app from start screen while you're in snapview mode, the newly opened app will be displayed in the middle of the screen first, then you can select which side to display that.

    I take it ReFS is still not supported on boot drives, right?

    There is no new animation when you launch apps. If you saw it in a YouTube video that was caused by a driver issue in the virtual machine.

    Here are some other changes (from 6385):
    • filter apps by name, date of installation or most used
    • new DPI settings for desktop. Simpler slider from small to large UI or DPI zoom upt to 200%
    • find apps from app list on the Start page ("Find on Start")
    • new search app that launches when you select the search term under search results
    • different and "flat" style for tiles for desktop apps. No gradient, no thin border
    • desktop is now always usable when snapped. Has a larger minimum snap size. Doesn't switch to thumbnail view like in 8.0
    • you can minimize modern apps by dragging them back in the multitasking pane
    • rearrange apps with WIN + arrow left or right
    • minimize apps with WIN + arrow down
    • better managing of apps on the Start screen: multi select and uninstall on multiple PCs
    • integrated SkyDrive desktop app
    • integrated SkyDrive offline sync feature in Files app's settings
