That's a joke right? I assumed it was some blogger mock up.
it was in WinUnleaked.tk's W8 Gallery so i assume its real. then again the bing page had this one it awhile ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEsMglMetjc so maybe the fish will have a more traditional look.That's a joke right? I assumed it was some blogger mock up.
I would partition out your drive and split it between W8 and W7 (if you don't have another to put it on.) There are still some things that don't work in W8 yet, and there is no reason for you to be stuck with all the time in that case.
I'm certainly going to be doing that. I had the W7 beta 1 in a vm and the W8 dev preview in vm. Now I'm dual booting W8 just like I did for the next W7 beta.
So is there going to be a new thread for the CP, or will we just carry on in this one?
Of course there will be a new thread. This one is actually about the blog posts on the building windows 8 blog. Just in case you didn't read the thread title or the OP.
Yes because obviously this thread only discussed what was written on the building Windows 8 blog. It may have been the original intention of the thread, but it seems to me that it quickly turned into a general Windows 8 discussion thread.
It was a simple question, and I expected a simple reply, which thankfully other members provided.
Is it me or do they moved the peek/show desktop button to the left?
I wish Google's designers could make something half as good-looking as thatso new google ui in windows 8. still looks good tho tbh

I think it's in the beta (or Canary?) version only atm.My Chrome settings page doesn't look that good.
Ease up there Mr.Serious Business.
They removed the button, you can still peek with the corner and win + space.
What version of Chrome are you using? Settings page doesn't look like that in my Chrome and I've got the latest stable version.brotkasten said:Check out the settings page for Chrome. They're getting there.
start button, it shows a preview of the start screen/desktop when you mouse over to the left on either screen.I am ashamed that I've just learned about Win + Space combo.
But if they removed the peek button, what's the button (the thin vertical block) on the left for?

When was the consumer preview released and when will the retail version ship? I know late 2012 has been the word, but anything closer than that? I've had this macbook for 5 years now, and I'm dying to get back to Windows and get a new laptop, but only if it's ready for Windows 8.

What do you mean "ready for Windows 8"? I'm running Windows 8 on my over 3-year-old notebook and I have no problems with it. If a laptop can run Windows 7, it will run Windows 8 without any troubles.
Unless you're talking about notebooks with touch screen.
windows 8 have three different versions, ARM, 32, and 64. just stick with 64 imo.Yeah, I was thinking about touch screen capabilities. I know most Windows 7 capable laptops will be able to run 8, but I just want to make sure I make the right choice for my next laptop purchase.
Macs have made me pretty computer illiterate. Can anyone tell me the difference between the 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 7 and will there be a similar thing for 8?
64 bit allows for more than 4GB of memory.Yeah, I was thinking about touch screen capabilities. I know most Windows 7 capable laptops will be able to run 8, but I just want to make sure I make the right choice for my next laptop purchase.

I keep hoping that MS will drop the 32-bit version on their latest OS release but they never do.I don't think you can buy new 32-bit machines anymore.
I don't think you can buy new 32-bit machines anymore.
Server 8 is only available as 64-bit version and we all know Windows Server leads the way for the next consumer version. No more 32-bit Windows with Windows 9.I keep hoping that MS will drop the 32-bit version on their latest OS release but they never do.
Aren't most chips 32/64?
Just partitioned my drive in preparation for tomorrow. For those of you who haven't partitioned a drive before in Win 7, here is a nice step by step website.

Jesus they're still using their crappy icons.
For the love of god, hire some guys to do it and flush the old ones. Metro is good, abuse the heck out of it ffs =/
can I run the windows 8 beta from an external hdd? (i have exactly no idea how stuff like this works)
As seen in some of the recent pictures, the icons are starting to be revamped. I doubt we'll see them until the RC though.
What size SSD do you guys think I should buy for win 8? I have a 64 gig SSD for win 7, but that's seems to barely be enough to contain the OS right now.
It's in the chrome beta channel.I think it's in the beta (or Canary?) version only atm.
I'm at 23gigs and I have Win7 and about a dozen programs installed that I access daily (like office, a couple of games and some other bs.)
Not sure how you have almost filled 64gb with just windows 7.
Anywho, I think you are good with 64gb. If you are on a laptop and you don't have access to a secondary drive, then I would suggest getting a portable HDD or just upgrading to a 128gb if you feel tight.
Right now I am running 64gb ssd with 750gb for programs, music, and whatever.

Still pretty ugly imo.

Should I continue or will this not allow me to have Windows 8 on there?The operation you selected will convert the basic disk to a dynamic disk. If you convert to dynamic disk you will not be able to start installed operating systems from any volume on the disk(except the current boot volume) Are you sure you want to continue?
So I did all that and then it says
