1392866 2015-04-30 12:41:00 It's pretty nice. Some aspects - especially Project Spartan/Microsoft Edge - are almost insanely buggy though. Nick G (16709)
1392867 2015-04-30 20:53:00 there should always be a free testing version of windows. paid support for everything else.
free testing version should be the everything version, capable of doing anything.
it would be the go to OS for nerds and pirates alike, right now its not (linux and pirated windows are)

1392870 2015-04-30 23:22:00 I read somewhere that there have been two versions of Aero released, and you may get one or the other. I think I've got the third - no Aero at all. I can see no evidence of Aero glass on my system. Also the project Spartan browser has disappeared, both from the taskbar and the apps list, either as "Spartan" or "Edge". Except that if I click a link in Explorer for instance it opens. Weird. I was also lying about getting the account picture back - it is still a generic silhouette. I did get a picture when the install finished and it said "welcome back", and that is what fooled me. Tony (4941)
1392871 2015-04-30 23:28:00 thank you microsoft for activation period Nope, its not the normal activation period you will get with software you may buy from a shop, its fully operational free trial software that lasts longer.

If you ever look at videos on youtube sometimes you can see they are actually using the free software for testing / demonstration purposes. :)

1392872 2015-04-30 23:34:00 I've the the semi transparent aero. Not too bad, but I'm not the biggest fan of transparency.

Is it just me, or is the notification bar quite slow and useless at the moment?

1392873 2015-04-30 23:48:00 Is it just me, or is the notification bar quite slow and useless at the moment?It's not just you. It is slow, shows stuff you aren't interested in and the black colour scheme means you can't see the text at the top.

How about posting a screen shot of the Aero?

1392874 2015-04-30 23:58:00 This my desktop - no Aero! :(
