Windows Technical Preview...

I just can't resist a new version of windows, no matter how how early.

Firstly get with the program, http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/preview

Download the ISO, create a new virtual machine and bish bash bosh  - minutes later, Windows X
(using a VMWare Fusion on my macbook pro)
When you log into windows, you go straight to the desktop and well, well, well the start menu is back - and its looking good...
It feels like Windows 7.5 (!) ;-)





Task View - or multiple desktops is cool, but I do remember a Tweak UI on Windows 95/98 , this has been a feature of XWindows for years!










File History - interesting - is this the start of TimeMachine for windows? (Perhaps not) - I will play when I attach a USB drive.


Search has been updated, but its not clear how different or new this is.









Well thats it for now, it looks good, its quick, I might just switch over as my main OS. ;-)
