If that is a real preview then I'm all for it. It's what Windows 8 should have been.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

I actually kinda like the tiles on the Start menu...wonder if they do the flipping thing with the different information...

Yea, that would would be very cool.

Windows RT or Windows Metro is a common language runtime that is the basis of Xbox One and Windows Phone.
The possibilities are endless for Metro, the desktop does not mingle well with Windows RT and is a challenge to bring it to this level.

I'm kind of done with Chrome. It just doesn't play YouTube sound for some video's. I fixed it once, but it came back for no apparent reason. Well FU Chrome, I'm done with you!
So looking at some alternatives.
1. IE. NEXT!!! This wasn't really an alternative to begin with.
2. FireFox. Not bad, used it a while, but still switched to Chrome. Maybe something else?
3. Safari. Nope. Just nope.
4. Opera. Never used it. It's supposed to be good and fast and lightweight... Sounds good! It also has AdBlock and Last.fm scrobbler (my must-have apps). Unfortunately no CP Reputation Watcher, but I guess I'll manage without.
5. Maxthon. Never even heard of it before now. A cloud browser that supposedly makes browsing across different platforms seamless. Great, except that I don't use other platforms for browsing. It probably doesn't have my favourite apps either.
So I think I'll try Opera for a while. Does anyone here actually use Opera? What are your experiences?

Just unplug the speakers - the sound won't come back again that way, and you can continue with Chrome.

Less YouTube?
But really - if you really angry with Chrome, give a chance to FireFox. It got much better in the last two years...

Ironically, the only problem I've ever had with chrome was gmail wouldn't work right.

The only problem I had with Windows was that IE wouldn't work.
The only problem I had with IE was that Silverlight wouldn't work.
Allright, I had a lot more problems with both, but these are pretty stupid 
YouTube is also owned by Google by the way. And it's the only problem I have in Chrome...
Dammit software giants, get your own software running straight!

I had a problem where IE11 was the only browser that wouldn't support Microsoft Outlook Web Access from Exchange 2010 out of the box. Chrome, Firefox and Safari all supported it.
Seems like the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at Microsoft these days.
By the way, Safari on OSX works really well, much better than Chrome or Firefox in my opinion

But then you have to use OSX; isn't that like burning down the house for the termites?

More like burning down the house killing off the termites, then building a bigger, better one without all the problems of the original 
I used to be anti-Apple for a long time but Windows Phone was so bad it pushed me onto iPhone, then Windows 8 came along and finally convinced me to give OSX a go and I haven't looked back. Thinking back on it, it's weird how these anti-Apple/Microsoft/Google sentiments get started?
I still use Windows 8.1 but only for .NET development with Visual Studio. For everything else I prefer OSX.
