I have tried to use Metro as much as possible lately, mainly because enlightenment kept eluding me. For some reason I could never really get the hang of it, which made me think that using Metro the desktop was a bad idea. I am nothing if not stubborn, so instead of giving up, I have been using Metro as my primary desktop for a couple of days now. To be perfectly honest, I like it more and more. My main concern was running multiple apps and switching between these. Normally I have a bunch of apps running at the same...
I know we are not supposed to call the new interface Metro, but since that is how we have always talked about it, I think we will keep it for now. So, the metro interface of Windows 8 has gotten its fair share of criticism lately. There are also a lot of people who like, however, why listen to others when you can try for yourself? Personally, I really like the Metro tiles on my Windows Phone; as far as I am concerned, it is much better than iOS, which I use on my iPad. The interface is designed for...
I finally got around to installing the 90 day trial version of Windows 8 and Office 2013 this weekend. I have used the preview a little bit on an extra partition, but I have decided to go all in and only run Windows 8 on my machine. I like metro a lot on the Windows Phone, however, I have not been totally sold on the desktop, so now I am going to give it a real shot and try to work with it on an everyday basis. I did a clean installation, which took around 15 minutes I’d guess, which...
When the Consumer preview of Windows 8 launched I wasted little time downloading and installing the bits on a spare partition. I admit that I did not have the stones a to jump in with both legs, so I still retain a Windows 7 installation no my primary hard disk. The installation process was very smooth, and all my peripheral devices work without any problems. That includes a scanner and a Windows phone as well as a LifeCam, so no complaints there. I didn’t expect any problems either, and it is not really the most exciting feature of the new...
Microsofts Build konference starter den 13. september og der har I længere tid været en hel del rygter på Twitter om hvad vi kan forvente at se. Microsoft selv har givet den fuld gas med alt hvad den trække på kække one liners og marketing materiale, men kun tiden vil vise om det holder vand. Microsoft skriver selv: If you are a contemporary developer, a geek who thrives on the newest and coolest, who loves the freedom of the web and the power of all devices from mobile to desktop, you need to join us to help BUILD the...
Her er den første lækkede video, der viser Windows 8, som det ser ud på nuværende tidspunkt. Det liger Windows 7 en del, men det skal man nok ikke regne med holder ved, da Microsoft angiveligt er ved at lave to nye UIs til Windows. Technorati Tags: Windows 8
Der kommer rigtigt mange leaks I øjeblikket, som omhandler Windows 8. Det sidste nye jeg har set er dette screenshot, som viser den kommende app store I Windows. Eller rettere, måske viser det den nye app store, endnu er intet bekræftet officielt. Umiddelbart ser det ud til at UI konceptet lægger sig meget op ad Windows Explorer, hvilket rent funktionelt giver meget god mening. Jeg tror imidlertid at der kommer en form UI refresh I forbindelse med app store, da det er en funktionalitet, som vil få meget bevågenhed, men også fordi den ændre på den måde hvorpå vi henter...
Jeg har samlet lidt screendumps hist og her, hvor man kan se nogle af de lækkede screendumps fra Windows 8 og Office 15. Endnu er intet bekræftet fra Microsoft, men umiddlebart ser det rigtigt nok ud. Windows 8 & Office 15 VIEW SLIDE SHOW DOWNLOAD ALL Technorati Tags: Windows 8,Office 15
Det er ikke længe siden Microsoft frigav Windows 7, men allerede nu er der begyndt at komme en del rygter omkring hvad vi kan forvente os a Windows 8. Angiveligt skulle det være mere end bare rygter, da en række slide decks fra interne Microsoft møder nu er lækket på nettet. Windows Kitchen skriver: A big thanks to @floo1989 for the heads-up! Over the weekend, the Italian Windows site “Windowsette” got a hold of some super secret squirrel Microsoft presentations apparently laying around on the internet somewhere. I took a look through every single one of these, slide-by-slide, so I’m...
