those color-matched herman miller leaps were probably taken by a rival dept as soon as the news day was over and it has likely never been used again as nobody wants to deal with gorilla-arm and sore feet from having to stand while you pretend to fulfill the board's directive that you synthesize today's headlines by dynamically meshing social media with a clear focus on audience engagement

this 10 preview is something else is this the first time they've switched off 'hide file extensions' as a default setting not much fanfare there it would have been nice to hear a 'sorry for that decade of deciding on the worst possible default setting to use and the millions of problems it created'

i watched the demo and i won't say that it's a sign of anything, but thank god there are still people at microsoft who know how to put together a tech demo. i'm hoping we finally move past the years of ballmer trying to sell a release by pumping his fist repeatedly on stage

ie11 metro, modern, or whatever it was called is gone. the only decent browser for the surface is gone. now its just normal ie11 with the small button targets. the tablet/normal mode notification spams you with the question every time you disconnect the keyboard. the notification is in the form of a question, but if you tap the notification it just performs the action rather than a yes/no question. the search box disappears in tablet mode, it becomes a magnifying glass. it does this when you press the start key:  only on the actual screen draw, the box is pushed down over the taskbar without moving the icons over, blocking them. the snipping tool captured it as it should look, not what it looks like on screen. 8.1 was better for tablets than this

so if you use small icons, the search bar goes away, but when you open the start menu, it runs off the edge of the screen when it appears because it appears over the task bar, full sized. can't get a screenshot because this laptop doesn't have a print screen key but lol

shadow puppet of a posted:I find this usual suspects lineup of default icons to be my favorite part of win10 It really feels like they've regressed, like they've forgotten what metro was supposed to exist for. I'm a total whore for shallow aesthetics and quite liked the whole flat UI trend because it got rid of a lot of things I thought looked needlessly tacky but these icons and most of the UI stuff they're showing in W10 looks like steaming, sweating, heaving garbage. Even with the worse of the ios7 icons there was at least a sense that someone had thought about what they looked like aesthetically; that slide out quick settings panel in W10 looks like a webpage where the stylesheet failed to load or something. You could literally create that panel in mspaint. I know this is microsoft but at least when they were doing poo poo like that bizarre puke green theme for the whistler beta it was at least funny.
