WHY AM I AT WORK!

I NEED TO BE HOME TO REFORMAT NOW.

At least with 50Mbit it'll take me less than 10 mins to get.

 

[jagowar]

Installing now....

 

[Magni]

I love Wordament on WP, wonder how good it is on a computer. And Xbox Companion too, nice!

Probably because you are using Chome to download IE all the way :lol

Max I can get is 158kb anyways. Plus my mom is watching netflix.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

It's the first time I'm actually glad I was late to work today and had to stay an hour longer than usual

 

[lunarworks]

My speed was steady at 1.4, but it's started going nuts. It went down to 400 for a bit, then up to 2.2, but now it's 1.4 again.

Who guessed that in the other thread?

Let me guess again.

Multitasking for Metro as in improved Flip 3D?

ding ding ding!

 

[Windu]

[SCHUEY F1]

Wonder if I will be able to install my older version of Word??

 

[kehs]

Who guessed that in the other thread?

They should totally hire me at microsoft, I'm sooooo glad they did that.

Or, you can switch between running apps using the ALT + F4 keyboard combination as before.

I'm guessing that's a typo....

 

[Troll]

Here is the 5mb installer.

 

[verbum]

I'm d/l at full speed.

And a noob question: I have Win 7 installed here but I'd like to test this version, how do I do that?

Look at my post on page 2.

 

[Swag]

Worth using this on the daily?

 

[PG2G]

Wish I wasn't at work, I can't wait to play with this

 

[Road]

Is the VM still limited to processors with Intel VT?

it was a pain in the ass when i tried that with win 7, hope it works now.

It's very easy, just use this: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

Is the Office available in the desktop version of CP?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

75%.....so close.

The design shift between Metro & Desktop is jarring. Why didn't Microsoft take the time to blend them together, like in this concept?

I'll play with it when I get home, but I don't think I'll be getting Windows 8 for my primary machine.

Hate Engadget's live blog interface. Verge is soooo much better.

Also, 31 minutes left. Damn you internets!

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Love that stuff carries over to your other machines.

 

[Windu]

1GB complete! 2.3 to go..

 

[Divvy]

So what happens when you alt-tab now?

 

[Meus Renaissance]

Guys, upload a galore of sceens please. This looks gorgeous

 

[Bit-Bit]

My Adobe Creative Suite just got approved this morning so I'm downloading a 7GB file. Now I have to wait till that is done before I can begin downloading Windows 8 Consumer Preview.

First world problems.

There are few minimalistic themes for Windows 7 (even ones that are based on Zune); I wonder if they will work with Win8.

Same here, cant wait to get a x64 tablet and have my desktop at work, my laptop, my tablet and desktop at home synchronized.

[Zeppu]

Any idea if I have metro on the TV and desktop on the monitor, simultaneously?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Wish I had a tablet to put this on. Desktop and laptop will have to do for now.
