Windows 8 beta (Consumer Preview)

What is this, Windows Phone for PC?

Sorry to open an old post but wondered if Microsoft still takes feature requests or is Windows 8 locked.

I'm not sure if this is related to applications, but certainly there's an issue with some older games on pc's with more than 1 core as they weren't designed to work on multiple cores - setting the affinity to just one core usually fixes this but this has to be done every time.

With an updated design to the task manager I wonder if Microsoft would consider an option to allow some kind of remember function to make it easier when loading older programs, games etc.

Why, what happens? I don't see any problems with them? :S

If a program can only use one core, it will only use one core lol

I've played a few games where there are big speed issues - Unreal Tournament being one - basically the game either runs too fast or too slow and I heard this is basically due to the fact it was designed for older hardware and not modern stuff - running it off one core seems to fix this but you have to manually do this each time.

You know, what some people are forgetting is that Windows 8 is touch-first - and whilst Microsoft has made a jarring experience on the desktop side the tablet experience looks awesome:

It looks a lot like those concept videos which Microsoft has done a ton of, there are like 500 touch gestures. It's just a shame they didn't add more of the mouse gestures like Aero snap in W7.
