Windows 10 Possible leaked footage

[peteyt]

Close to a possible date for a technical preview of the new windows 9, footage rumoured to be showing off windows 9 has been posted online. 3 videos have surfaced showing some new possible features - The newly returned and modified start menu as well as showing metro apps running as windowed desktop apps, a new notification area and a multiple desktop mode.

I think the videos if real show promise and show that Microsoft is listening to what its customers want. I've never really missed the start menu myself, finding the metro screen was simply a newly designed and actually easier and handier start menu but a lot of people have refused to upgrade due to its removal. I also didn't like the fact metro apps couldn't run like normal apps in a desktop environment. With these things hopefully being added along with many other features I think Windows 9 could be a success, just like Windows 7 was after Vista.

What do you think?

Whilst I do think it looks much nicer, the fact they've shoved the metro apps tiles in the start bar area is absolutely disgusting. Everything else looks pretty good so far though.

Looks interesting. If I was on my desktop then I would opt for the more traditional start menu, but if I was on my surface then I would definitely stick to the new start screen.

I think having them attached to the start menu will probably be optional.

It certainly looks a lot better than Windows 8, but still not that appealing.
I still much prefer Windows 7.

I don't like it. I don't see why there's so much hate for Windows 8, I really like it and find it much better than Windows 7.

I am not interested in clicking on a link, but if it is anything like windows 8, I will hate it. I just got a new computer and I specifically told the people who made it not to let it be windows 8. Windows 7 is much better IMO.

looks awful, just like windows 8.

[:odey:]

I still haven't even used windows 8, so I don't know how bad it is, but this looks kinda ok, ish..

I agree but I think windows 9 will be able to bring those who didn't like it in which is good. The metro screen will still be available I think for those who prefer it.

It's Windows 9 which is trying to fix the issues of windows 8 so its worth a try as you won't know if its good till you've tried it

Very True. I might find a way to give it a test drive some time.
