Windows 8 beta (Consumer Preview)

Also, after using it on a dual screen it doesn't seem to flow like previous windows...
I can't seem to drag apps across to the second screen and it just isn't very nice to use on more than one screen.
When minimizing an app the second screen sometimes goes to the home screen sometime just doesn't do anything and is really quite randomised it seems. I don't think they have built this with dual screens in mind at all.
Another flaw is that if you are using a laptop without an external USB mouse scrolling is terrible and it takes three times the amount of time to do something than it normally would
Bit dissapointing.

Amazing for tabs, phones and single screen devices. But anything more than that is a bit disgusting at the current time.

I use two screens on Windows 8 just fine. There are settings for multi-monitor displays and one of them is so the applications you have on the other screen, minimise to the taskbar on that screen.

Right Click taskbar > Properties and use the following:



Or of course set them to the way you want them to be set but multi-screen support has been thought about and it does work better than previous Window versions without any need for 3rd party programs.

It's too touch-focused.

As a tablet OS, it's great, but as anything else.... Just no.

And WHY do they use Metro on a SERVER? OK on WHS I could possibly understand but on anything else, there is simply no need.

Not another one.

7 is far 'faster' than XP, get over it.

Oh sorry babe, did I "tiggle" a nerve.

Its a fact that Windows 7 is better than XP. In terms of performance and even features.
