Goddamn live stream skips like a motherfucker. The dumb flash applet can't even decide to stick to a lower quality level to stop loving around.

Hmmmm, 8" inch tablet and babbling about full PCs, maybe they're finally allowing to install Win32 apps on ARM? --edit: Wow, that Cortana thing is awkward as gently caress. Combat Pretzel fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Jan 21, 2015 |

So showing outlook, it uses Word as a backend for making emails. I so hope they give API access for that. Same goes to the list views here. If this is all custom I'm going to be pissed.

Showing the early builds of the WinRT apps, the trend I notice is usage of more iconography and different shades of the accent color, as well as other colors. I guess things will finally look less drab. Also, the app title style changed from these idioticly huge ones to subtler ones with their own title bar shade. --edit: Jesus, the photo app is MSR PhotoTriage... Implemented ten years late.

It's very professionally written. And it supports a folder-based view of my OneDrive, and can play directly from OneDrive.

I wonder if these are going to be true universal apps, or whether it's still just in source code with those awkward shared VS projects.

Holy poo poo, just absorbed all the info I could about Windows 10. My PC is still on Win7 64 because I had no real reasons to use Win 8.1. Cortana, game streaming, universal apps, and all that new stuff just sold me. Just bring in faster phone updates and I'll say goodbye to android.

Combat Pretzel posted:Blargh, how I parse Ars Technicas transcription of the Q&A session, it's still shared VS projects and not universal binaries. gently caress that poo poo. Exactly which bit of the transcript are you referring to? I didn't see anything that hinted towards your conclusion... edit: I see only this sentence "Apps need to be tailored on each universal platform, of course, but there's huge code commonality." Well that's true even of iOS (universal binary between iPhone and iPad) and Android (universal binary between different form factors and different versions of the OS). ljw1004 fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Jan 21, 2015 |
