As much as i hate Apple, what I have seen of Windows 8 so far is making me take a second look at Macs... Or perhaps a Linux distro would be better... I hope the final version of Win8 will detect if you have a touchscreen or not and give you the classic start menu if a touchscreen is not detected or give you a simple option to change it without having to do a registry hack to enable it.
@TheJoshua8598 What they really should do is to release a Desktop and a Tablet version of Windows 8... I can't imagine large workstation using this flower-power garbage aka Metro UI..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Another ridiculous video about "windows 8". What part of developer preview do you morons not understand? It's not even a beta it's a DEVELOPER PREVIEW? Are you a developer? At least say that instead of misleading folks who aren't aware of what you're supposedly demoing. Claiming "Windows 8" does or does not do certain things!
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom I'll say it again "This is Windows 8 Developer Preview" not "Windows 8". Nothing "Trolling" about that. You come across as a pretty decent guy in your video, but your comments and responses to people's comments say otherwise. You have real issues.
So many people hating because of the dev preview, it's for developers, developers only care about the new features, if they want to build an application that uses the old feature they'll test it in windows 7. I am 99% sure the final version will have a control panel option to enable the regular UI.
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom Flat files vs hierarchical database? Not quite the same thing. They may do the same thing, but the implementation is quite a bit different. I take flat files any day over the awful windows registry.
I think people might respect you more if you weren't so pompous in your comments. Calling people idiots and your high and mighty attitude don't win anyone over to your side.
That "I can access all the files on your mac in under 30 minutes no passwords or logins" thing just sounds hilarious, like I should wait to see you in the next hackers movie.
No one cares who you are on here, people just want to comment and troll on YouTube.
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom And there are several easy ways to reset the PW hash for windows systems to allow you in through the front door. Now in the event you encrypted your data, well duh, that's obviously not going to work. In that case I would just use FDE in TrueCrypt and resolve that issue pretty easily.
@jarredsutherland Go play with the script kiddies and troll somewhere else. Or maybe Google my Background. My first experience with computer security was when the CIA showed up at my 3rd grade class to ask how to de-crypt a hard disk that used my encryption software.
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom Wow, you have an ego bigger than anyone I have ever spoken with. I have no desire to stoke your ego more by using Google to search your name, I know enough about you (pompous) just by reading your posts on here. Keep posting though, reading these replies is pretty hilarious.
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom "since it was meant for tablets only" you can say this about the entire windows 8 project. I hate how they sell the tablet UI and say metro bring benefits to the desktop user that doesn't have touch monitor as well. I think they should have worked on aero as well: drop the windows padding, make the windows top menu simpler not add a tone of options we don't use any way, inspire from os x lion design, scroll bar width smaller...
@club4ghz It will have a normal start menu and desktop. only the Developer Preview which isn't even a beta required you to change the registry to get it.
@EdwardTheTechGeek What part of You can use Windows 8 on a normal computer, as a normal OS that looks just like Windows 95,98,xp,vista,7 don't you get? My windows 8 computer is a Normal non-touch, non-tablet with a start menu and desktop.
i know this is only a dev. preview but Windows at as it stands now is just plain retarded. at the very least they can change it up so you can have just one experience. either boot into metro, or boot up into the desktop. having both and having to jump back and forth between the two UI's is just retarded. Give me one experience or another. not Multiple experiences at the same time. who the heck would want that?
I agree they should have made the non-Win8 apps as bigger version of the orignial icons to make it looks IOS like atleast only for the old non windows 8 apps. Also they should make folders like IOS that show what you have inside so there is no need for a desktop. They need to make the whole OS touch friendly and get rid of the desktop
OR.. u can put ur mouse on the left-down corner and click Search, click on Apps and type in the app u wanna use. it is even more easy than clicking Start Menu, then All Applications, then the app folder and then the app.
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom yeah no, i wasn't trolling i was stating it would be much better if they fix this before the RTM. you must be extra sensitive. If i wanted to troll i would say GO GET A MAC/UBUNTU MACHINE BECAUSE WINDOWS IS WORTHLESS. No I like windows, but they need to fix this. By fix i mean add the old start menu.
ive done this its really easy and worked okay but the developer relase was really buggy i uninstalled and put arch back on my computer. im not missing windows 8
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom ya im not sure what went wrong i figred its windows in alpha so i left it. i did see its at a 6.2 kernel now which is kinda neat but i am not the best person to ask about windows the only reason i keep up with windows is incase someone asks me how to do something , but i find myself lost in the windows operating system do to my histry using a more simplified desktop. so ya its looks nice for a alpha and i do hope this operating system makes it.
@goochbuntu I had no problems with Windows 8 and its has been my main os since it came out. Plus its a DP its going to be buggy any OS at this stage will be buggy, including Linux.
But you can just start typing on the Metro Start screen to search, you don't need to memorise apps. Surely its even faster to open apps like that than it is looking through a traditional start menu?
@mrfantasticP Mac OS X has a Registry, they just don't make it easy to find. I can access all the files on your mac in under 30 minutes no Passwords or logins needed. You could spend weeks with my Windows 7 and get nothing.
Darn, a registry hack, I am scared to mess with the registry because I messed up a computer at school when playing with the registry (I had the teacher's permission- it was a computer class). I eventually fixed it (yes- me, not the teacher), but I am still nervous about this stuff.
@GeekinsteinTutorials That's like saying you are scared to cook because you once burned toast. You are changing one value that is already there, it isn't like you have to create 100 new values.
There is nothing that I have seen or heard about Windows 8 that I like. I will not know how to use it with the Metro tiles and it is also quite ugly. That's why I am going to buy more Windows 7 and Windows XP laptops now. To stock up on laptops. So that if they stopped making Windows 7.I will not be forced to buy Windows 8. Andrea Borman.
@andrea22borman You don't have to use Metro, it is optional in the final release. Windows XP is long Dead, and there is no support so most new software won't run on it.
Thank you for your reply. I have got both Windows 7 and Windows XP netbooks. Windows XP is still supported until 2014, and even then, they may extend support.And I am running all of the modern software on Windows XP.Windows XP is faster than Windows 7, but both are good. I see no need for Windows 8 as Windows 7 has everything we want. And so does Windows XP. Andrea Borman.
@andrea22borman XP doesn't run anything requiring DirectX 11, doesn't support quad core CPU's. And doesn't support USB 3 devices. Support through April 2014 is only going to bring "patches with imminent security threats" so if XP isn't going to destroy other computers not getting fixed. WIndows XP and 7 won't run anything written using the new HTML5 presentation layer.
I don't know anything about Direct X. But Windows XP runs all the modern web browsers,media players and chat messengers. As well as some older web browsers and supports my USB web cam. But so does Windows 7.And the good thing about Windows 7 is that you can set it to Aero theme or Windows Classic look. And it runs most of the software for Windows XP,2000,98 and 95. I bet Windows 8 won't. So you are better off to stick with Windows7,XP or Vista. Andrea Borman.
But you have still got the problem of no start menu and that Metro theme on Windows 8. That makes it difficult to use. But Windows 7 is only 2 years old. So I don't think that Windows 8 can be better than Windows 7. If you have Windows 7 you have almost everything. I got my first laptop,Windows 7 last year. Then this year I got a Windows XP laptop.And Windows XP works like it was only made 2 months ago,not 10 years ago. Andrea Borman.
But in the other videos I saw,every time you tried to disable the Metro it came back. And there was a start menu on the left hand side, but it did not look like the Windows 7 start menu. And is it true there is no Windows Classic theme on Windows 8 only Aero? Andrea Borman.
@andrea22borman There is a windows classic, And Metro isn't running if you do what I said in this video. ANd this is the developer preview, not even a Beta release candidate it was meant to run on tablets.. It is not indicateive of the final release.
Well,I have just seen some other videos on Windows 8. And if you install your own software like Firefox or VLC player it does not show up in the Metro tiles,or start menu. So how are you supposes to launch Firefox and other programs you installed if you can't find them in the start menu or Metro tiles? And it seems you can get the Windows 7 desktop. But when you click on the start menu,the Metro tiles come back again. Andrea Borman.
@andrea22borman Uh, I don't know maybe try the programs menu on metro. You go into the very bottom-left side of the screen and wait for the little menu to come up. Hit search, then apps. There you go! Your installed programs!
Fantastic, lets just say I just paid for a brand new OS so now in order for it to work right i have to hack it... hmm reminds me of another OS microsoft had a few years back, vista........
i hate the metro ui on pc because of the icons because if they gonna continuse the metro ui every publisher of program maker needs to make metro icons right?cauze it's not fit in the look of the original icon to the metro icon haha (many errors right? :DD)
i would like to say for everyone bitching about the APPS (software) like firefox and everything else.Is because there are not developer for win 8 you damn ass.Hint why is dev beta.Why don't you try learning a few things because i have seen 10 videos bitching about that now

I suppose what you have to bear in mind is that the App Store isn't open yet. The point is, when it's open, a lot of the things you use i.e. Chrome, Google search, Windows Live Messenger, Email etc. will no doubt be there. And as others say, it's in beta. We'll see. I love the Windows 8 Start Menu - and the weather app, Twitter app and all of the others are fantastic. c:
stop complaining, it's a test version, meant for testing the global properties, program grouping is obviously not a priority since this version of windows is not meant te be running a great amount of programs
While this was helpful, and I am happy to have the Start menu back, this really messes up the Metro UI. It isn't usable really. I know it can be easily changed, but still a bit irritating. Anyway, thanks for the video! I'm so happy to have the start menu
@elitewarrior11 Your right, my comment was a very stupid and quick assumption. If tweaked a bit, I could like Windows 8 better than 7 with it's memory management and all.
It's as I thought: Metro is for touchscreens; if you have a big-titted desktop and dual monitors and lots and lot of programs, fergit it. So, okay. We can make Windows 8 look like Windows 7. What, then, is the advantage of 8? Also, does 8 talk to the internet when I don't want it to?
@Ilja4eva i'm almost inclined to agree. html5 on the METRO ie10 version CRASHES when multitasking ( atl tab and click edge of screen to slide in other windows). ALOT. and they were bragging about " no chrome ness." or " chrome free" lol. dumbasses...COPYING CHROME is what made IE9 so much faster, stable and BETTER than ie8. get a clue microsoft.
@chronofusion "Chrome" in this case isn't "Google Chrome" it is "Browser Chrome" which is the address bar, menus, tabs, etc, that aren't in the Full screen IE Experience you get from the Metro UI
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom ( peanut accent from Jeff Dunham) I KNOOOOOOOOOOW" that's the coherence I was referencing. :D thanks for the explanation part of those items I didnt realize were different on a serious note.
If they could JUST fix the crashing problem ( not sure if it's only x64 version or if it's both or if there is something on my rig) with changing programs attention, and enabling a built in feature similar to iReader extension/chrome WHILE full screen. THAT WOULD ROCK .
@ChangingWindows1 Yeah that appears to be the case... I'm ok with that... You could create a .reg file with a 1 and a 0 version of the key and toggle between if you wanted.

Darn, a registry hack, I am scared to mess with the registry because I messed up a computer at school when playing with the registry (I had the teacher's permission- it was a computer class). I eventually fixed it (yes- me, not the teacher), but I am still nervous about this stuff.

@GeekinsteinTutorials That's like saying you are scared to cook because you once burned toast. You are changing one value that is already there, it isn't like you have to create 100 new values.

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom I have been with Windows since 3.1. Windows 8 looks horrible and for me it runs worse than Vista.

There is nothing that I have seen or heard about Windows 8 that I like. I will not know how to use it with the Metro tiles and it is also quite ugly. That's why I am going to buy more Windows 7 and Windows XP laptops now. To stock up on laptops. So that if they stopped making Windows 7.I will not be forced to buy Windows 8. Andrea Borman.

@andrea22borman You don't have to use Metro, it is optional in the final release. Windows XP is long Dead, and there is no support so most new software won't run on it.
BlackwaterOpsDotCom 3 months ago
Thank you for your reply. I have got both Windows 7 and Windows XP netbooks. Windows XP is still supported until 2014, and even then, they may extend support.And I am running all of the modern software on Windows XP.Windows XP is faster than Windows 7, but both are good. I see no need for Windows 8 as Windows 7 has everything we want. And so does Windows XP. Andrea Borman.
andrea22borman 3 months ago
@andrea22borman XP doesn't run anything requiring DirectX 11, doesn't support quad core CPU's. And doesn't support USB 3 devices. Support through April 2014 is only going to bring "patches with imminent security threats" so if XP isn't going to destroy other computers not getting fixed. WIndows XP and 7 won't run anything written using the new HTML5 presentation layer.
BlackwaterOpsDotCom 3 months ago
I don't know anything about Direct X. But Windows XP runs all the modern web browsers,media players and chat messengers. As well as some older web browsers and supports my USB web cam. But so does Windows 7.And the good thing about Windows 7 is that you can set it to Aero theme or Windows Classic look. And it runs most of the software for Windows XP,2000,98 and 95. I bet Windows 8 won't. So you are better off to stick with Windows7,XP or Vista. Andrea Borman.
andrea22borman 3 months ago
@andrea22borman Windows 8 does all those things and runs more "old" software than XP or Win7 did.
BlackwaterOpsDotCom 3 months ago
But you have still got the problem of no start menu and that Metro theme on Windows 8. That makes it difficult to use. But Windows 7 is only 2 years old. So I don't think that Windows 8 can be better than Windows 7. If you have Windows 7 you have almost everything. I got my first laptop,Windows 7 last year. Then this year I got a Windows XP laptop.And Windows XP works like it was only made 2 months ago,not 10 years ago. Andrea Borman.

@andrea22borman What are you talking about? The start menu is just like it used to be. Metro is Optional. You are horribly mis-informed.
BlackwaterOpsDotCom 3 months ago
But in the other videos I saw,every time you tried to disable the Metro it came back. And there was a start menu on the left hand side, but it did not look like the Windows 7 start menu. And is it true there is no Windows Classic theme on Windows 8 only Aero? Andrea Borman.
andrea22borman 3 months ago
@andrea22borman There is a windows classic, And Metro isn't running if you do what I said in this video. ANd this is the developer preview, not even a Beta release candidate it was meant to run on tablets.. It is not indicateive of the final release.
BlackwaterOpsDotCom 3 months ago
Well,I have just seen some other videos on Windows 8. And if you install your own software like Firefox or VLC player it does not show up in the Metro tiles,or start menu. So how are you supposes to launch Firefox and other programs you installed if you can't find them in the start menu or Metro tiles? And it seems you can get the Windows 7 desktop. But when you click on the start menu,the Metro tiles come back again. Andrea Borman.
andrea22borman 3 months ago
@andrea22borman Uh, I don't know maybe try the programs menu on metro. You go into the very bottom-left side of the screen and wait for the little menu to come up. Hit search, then apps. There you go! Your installed programs!

I suppose what you have to bear in mind is that the App Store isn't open yet. The point is, when it's open, a lot of the things you use i.e. Chrome, Google search, Windows Live Messenger, Email etc. will no doubt be there. And as others say, it's in beta. We'll see. I love the Windows 8 Start Menu - and the weather app, Twitter app and all of the others are fantastic. c:

While this was helpful, and I am happy to have the Start menu back, this really messes up the Metro UI. It isn't usable really. I know it can be easily changed, but still a bit irritating. Anyway, thanks for the video! I'm so happy to have the start menu

It's as I thought: Metro is for touchscreens; if you have a big-titted desktop and dual monitors and lots and lot of programs, fergit it. So, okay. We can make Windows 8 look like Windows 7. What, then, is the advantage of 8? Also, does 8 talk to the internet when I don't want it to?

@Ilja4eva i'm almost inclined to agree. html5 on the METRO ie10 version CRASHES when multitasking ( atl tab and click edge of screen to slide in other windows). ALOT. and they were bragging about " no chrome ness." or " chrome free" lol. dumbasses...COPYING CHROME is what made IE9 so much faster, stable and BETTER than ie8. get a clue microsoft.
chronofusion 5 months ago
@chronofusion "Chrome" in this case isn't "Google Chrome" it is "Browser Chrome" which is the address bar, menus, tabs, etc, that aren't in the Full screen IE Experience you get from the Metro UI
BlackwaterOpsDotCom 5 months ago
@BlackwaterOpsDotCom ( peanut accent from Jeff Dunham) I KNOOOOOOOOOOW" that's the coherence I was referencing. :D thanks for the explanation part of those items I didnt realize were different on a serious note.
If they could JUST fix the crashing problem ( not sure if it's only x64 version or if it's both or if there is something on my rig) with changing programs attention, and enabling a built in feature similar to iReader extension/chrome WHILE full screen. THAT WOULD ROCK .

they should have 2 versions, one with standard ui and one with metro because metro sucks on desktop

BlackwaterOpsDotCom 5 months ago
Hello,
I dont know if anyone mentiont it before,
But if you apply this hack, and reboot then there is NO way to open the metro screen like you said with double tap on windows key.
If i do the reg edit, i can go to metro by pressing windows key, after reboot, it aint working anymore.
Eitherway i find the os very stable, but indeed have the same issue with start menu
