Here is the Legacy desktop:
A quick review of Windows 8 Consumer Preview
This is just a quick review of improvements and new features in Windows 8 CP (I am in love with this :rule
Windows 8 desktop is quit similar to windows 7.
-start menu button is removed.
-Lower-Left corner gives access to start menu
-Upper Left corner, lets u switch between Metro application.
-Right upper and right lower (Just above task bar) corner has quick menu, that provides access to settings,devices,search,sharing etc
-Right lower corner provides Aero view of desktop.
Start menu contains installed metro and and shortcuts to desktop applications.
Windows 8 CP includes new metro style IE 10, media player, photo viewer, PDF document reader.
PDF Reader:
Video Player:
New task manager:
Much improved windows explorer with Ribbon UI and pause and stop button for File copying process.
Unified Dialogue for file copy, move,deletion and other dialogues:
WEI (WGAF) now rate components between 1.0 to 9.9
Surprize Pinball is back
"Refresh" and "Reset" my PC: (These options can be found in control panel)
Refresh: Quickly refresh windows,keeping your files and settings. (Reset windows settings and repair windows files)
Reset: Quickly reset windows , which completely removes settings and files. (Just like new Windows)
As a side note, i would like to mention that DX11 games (Dirt 3, Saint row the third) were not working on Windows 8 Developer Preview but now these run perfectly fine.
My recommendation at-least try Windows 8 CP as dual boot system.
There are lot of performance improvement like quick boot, Windows 8 boots to desktop in just 9,10 seconds(On a sata II Harddisk ,no ssd here)
For additional information about Windows 8 CP,

Kaisa masla?sirf files search krne main masla hota hai win 7 ka start menu se search aaaaaaaaaalaaa tha
Sirf Start Screen pay jao aur application ka naam type karna shuroo kar do.
Khud ba khud search karay ga
Very good work @mubaidr.
My few words:
In my opinion, it doesn't worth the hassle of installation.
My few words:
- I'm not impressed by this Win8, to be honest.
- Everything looks exactly the same, except some fancy improvements, even those don't look that much good (Ubuntu's Unity Launcher is still better).
- Media player looks better.
- IE's icon is beautiful.
- The only thing I liked about this Windows is Pinball, lol j/k, it's task manager looks more user-friendly than previous task managers.
- Copying bar looks so simple, or ugly I should say?
- WEI is still stuck to 5.9 for mechanical drives (HDDs), at least this one should've been fixed.
In my opinion, it doesn't worth the hassle of installation.

Yes, everything looks same, but there are many improvements to the memory and performance side.
Clicking "less details" will make it look like file copy dialogue in Windows 7, but "Pause" is still an improvement
File copying,deletion or other dialogue boxes are unified into one. (Added to the first post)
I'd like to try this with my copy of Windows 7. Now I know that it is possible to keep multiple operating systems on a single Hard-drive. Just wondering, would I able to later delete the Windows 8 if I want to? Plus would I have to make a different partition for Windows 8?
It's a very disjointed experience. Metro UI is solely built with a touch interface in mind yet even for desktop usage you cannot get without it coming in the way. Too many gestures, too many 'hidden' things, heck there are two separate Internet Explorers (one for metro and one regular). This has the potential to be a phenomenal tablet OS but for desktop use I have my reservations.
I am currently running Windows 7 and Consumer preview on the same HDD, of course on different partitions.
Yes, you'll be able to remove CP any time you want

^What he said!
The metro Ui looks good only on Tablets or Phones heck it looks awesome but trying the same tactic on P.c, I'm not sure my imagination tells me it would be ugly
There wont be an OEM version as this is a consumer preview.awesome man just awesome waiting for OEM version on TPB
There is an official torrent however, released by Microsoft.
Check that out
will office 2007 work on this? My brothers need that above every other software and if office DOES come with it built in or it supports office 07 that would be awesome.
We have disabled traderscore and are working on a fix. There was a bug with the plugin | Click for Discord

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.
-
XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

faraany3k:
tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
