1231355 2011-09-16 02:13:00 I like the new windows task manager when you click on more details, some useful info in there now :thumbs:
I works really nicely running dual monitors also - but then 7 might also, just got a clients screen here at the mo and thought I would use it as a secondary :)

I really hope they dump the kiosk screen, its gastly - probably the green background more than anything. I hope the final release lets you change themes and get rid of it all together. Havent tried any games and such yet, been a tad busy.

There you go - you lose the cool new task manager etc too - they'll streamline this later on I would suspect. :thumbs: Thanks Wratterus, worked fine, now have both options to select from when opening :)

:). No I didn't but everyone was talking about install there. When I checked it had been dead for over 24 hours and no one had actually said anything about the actual running system.

U run dual normally and the most annoying thing to me with W8 is the taskbar is always on top on the second screen. I haven't worked out how to turn this off yet.

Last night I was saying I hate it but I think I'm getting use to it. slowly. The thing that cracked me up the most is Microsoft has to tell you they like a program before you can install it. Try disconnecting from the net and installing a program. It won't let you because Microsoft hasn't said they like it.

Also another thin, my explorer crashed, but the window told me microsoft.com had crashed. hmm

1231361 2011-09-16 10:32:00 It's alright, but really should not be run on desktops/laptops with no touchscreen. Really only made for tablets. The way they removed the start button is very annoying... Hard to find apps...etc.. sahilcc7 (15483)
