Windows 8 Build

Post by Shomari »

Anybody try the dev preview yet?



Here's my impression so far.
There is no "quitting" apps. You can just end the task via task manager. But now apps get "suspended" when not in use. I think OSX Lion has something like this. idk. This is sort of an annoyance considering the apps still show when alt+tabbing.

Tiles are as great as I expected them to be. Actually accessing all my apps took a bit of button pressing to figure out. App store I await you.

That's all I've really done so far other than playing sudoku.
