[QUOTE=Panda X;34788499]along with the 25GB storage[/QUOTE] I read that, but with Live Mesh on Windows 7, if I select a folder to sync with SkyDrive it says I only have 5 GB available?
[QUOTE=horsedrowner;34789850]I read that, but with Live Mesh on Windows 7, if I select a folder to sync with SkyDrive it says I only have 5 GB available?[/QUOTE] Live Mesh only allows you to sync 5 GB, anything over you have to manually do through the site.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;34789314]The current Xbox dashboard IS metro[/QUOTE] Exactly.
[QUOTE=Soup Nazi;34790542]Exactly.[/QUOTE] ...so? And I quite like it. They should be more thorough, though.
Apparently the animations shift key works on the metro screen too.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;34788408]Dat missing anti-aliasing. But incredibly useful nonetheless. Much better than iCloud, and probably dropbox as well.[/QUOTE] Missing anti-aliasing? Am I missing something here?
[QUOTE=nERVEcenter;34797761]Missing anti-aliasing? Am I missing something here?[/QUOTE] My thoughts exactly. I think he was just trolling.
[QUOTE=nERVEcenter;34797761]Missing anti-aliasing? Am I missing something here?[/QUOTE] The sync ticks.
[QUOTE=P320;34798004]My thoughts exactly. I think he was just trolling.[/QUOTE] In no way does that even remotely come close to fitting anything related to trolling. Trolling is purposely posting something to make people upset. Look at the icon overlay. It doesn't have AA. [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/wVsWKw.png[/IMG]
[QUOTE=Panda X;34798065]In no way does that even remotely come close to fitting anything related to trolling. [B]Trolling is purposely posting something to make people upset[/B].[/QUOTE] Exactly what he was doing. [QUOTE=Panda X;34798065]Look at the icon overlay. It doesn't have AA. [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/wVsWKw.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] It has anti-aliasing. Only looks like shit because you zoomed in.
[QUOTE=P320;34798147]Exactly what he was doing. It has anti-aliasing. Only looks like shit because you zoomed in.[/QUOTE] Look at the edge of the folder. The checkmark circle should have the same faded edge at that level of magnification.
[QUOTE=P320;34798147]Exactly what he was doing. It has anti-aliasing. Only looks like shit because you zoomed in.[/QUOTE] You got upset because he pointed out it doesn't have AA? Wow... [IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/1OW920.png[/IMG] Yep that's certainly AA :downs: Just zooming in image editing software is biased so it makes green circles with white check marks aliased while beige folders with thumbnails of children and lights are allowed to keep their anti-aliasing.
[QUOTE=P320;34798147]Exactly what he was doing. It has anti-aliasing. Only looks like shit because you zoomed in.[/QUOTE] Why would I even try to upset people, and just afterwards say that I think it looks great? I don't know about you, but I can clearly see the missing AA. Look at Panda X's picture - there's a bit of grey colour around the folders, no blending colours on the green icon. Missing AA.

Not to go too off topic, but I love the new avatar, Panda. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/avatar/71954.png?garryis=awesome[/IMG] More specifically, I love how the [URL]http://www.facepunch.com/avatar/71954.png[/URL] is the old avatar, yet when you append "?garryis=awesome" onto the end of it, ([URL]http://www.facepunch.com/avatar/71954.png[/URL][URL="http://www.facepunch.com/avatar/71954.png?garryis=awesome"]?garryis=awesome[/URL]) it makes it into a windows 8 logo. Wonder how that happened...
it did work for me but now it doesn't. v:v:v
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;34806802]Cached image in your browser[/QUOTE] Ahh yes, you are right. Gordon, I have complete confidence in you. (HL Reference) :D I cleared my firefox 13a1 nightly cache, and it fixed the old avatar. Thanks.

It's remains the same in Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Opera. Even with a cleared cache in all of them.
remind me on what day the consumer preview will be dumped on our doorstep like a abandoned baby I want to record the huge backlash from people when they first load it up and they are thrown into the touch ui because you all know it will happen

I'm already thinking about what I'll whine about.
[QUOTE=nikomo;34808401]I'm already thinking about what I'll whine about.[/QUOTE] I'm preparing to make a YouTube video on what Microsoft has manages to fuck up[I] further[/I], what cool new useful things are introduced, what's going to piss consumers off the most, what they managed to break in terms of compatibility (There's always a slew of things, even in RTM/Final), and most importantly, how we can fix these "issues" using third-party utilities.
[QUOTE=P320;34809238]I'm preparing to make a YouTube video on what Microsoft has manages to fuck up[I] further[/I] ... what's going to piss consumers off the most[/QUOTE] So it's just going to be one of those "I don't like it, therefor no one else will" videos?
I can't wait to try it with my Wacom tablet. Using a SMARTBoard with 8 was a pleasure, I bet a pen input like the tablet will be comparable. (I'd install the CP and try it now, but i'm too lazy :v:)
[QUOTE=Panda X;34809268]So it's just going to be one of those "I don't like it, therefor no one else will" videos?[/QUOTE] Not at all. Just a realistic, unbiased opinion on what's new, what's broken, what works, and what does not.
