Don't leave the flash drive in your pc after upgrading because anything you do on the computer with the flash drive in won't be saved on restart. That's what I think it means anyways.

AFAIK you can install it, but Modern UI Snap (or whatever) won't work. That's about it. I think. I might be wrong.
Is there/will there be Start Screen transparency? I've seen screenshots to where the background of the start screen is transparent and you can just see the tiles.
Also is there a way to make an OblyTile for a folder?
ALSO can you make custom wide tiles?
Some progress on tile sharing site. I expect it to be finished somewhere next month. (Backend isn't working at all yet, its just the front end for now)

I talked to the dev of OblyTile. I'm gonna provide a download link and a short guide on how to use it as well.

I thought I removed the link. Anyway it shouldn't be there now.
I was learning how to change my tiles and it still 404's me.
Let's rage hard for a little while:

It 404's because it doesn't exist yet. Try again tomorrow when I have made it.

no, it's like a normal dvd, just a flash drive
I used the flash drive, since I find discs too slow

If it makes people cough, I don't think I want it.
How long does it take to install?
How did you guys pin Steam games to the metro?
What i would like is that when you want too look at all programs, it should also show you stuff you have on your other harddrives like on my 2TB i got steam on it and some other games. But i guess the games have to register them self in the windows register.

i'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing, you can make a shortcut file for a steam game launcher.

It takes a while to sync through at first.
It works for me but Windows isn't merging my contacts' profiles across networks. Annoying.
