Windows 10: Windows 10 January Technical Preview build 99xx Change Log

I'm afraid its gonna be... If you didn't like Metro IE, then you prob not going to care for Spartan either... *Cool

 

To early to say what Spartan is going to be or even look like. All we've see is a draft image. It does look like Chrome/FF and I think that's the look that MS is going for. As for how it will work. Well, we should find out when it comes out for testing.

I hope it works well but I'm not going to hold my breath on that.. if it fails then I'll stick with FF.

Metro ie I'm not sure what that is
Metro or Modern it's all the same pretty much the only difference is have a large square live title instead of simple pinned to the taskbar :/

 

If I recall, MS tried to have a desktop IE and a metro version. I never use either so this is just a guess by me at this point.

 

...for some reason they called it an 'Immersive Browser' and yes, same was later called Modern...

 

Ha okay yep,
The other real issue I had with ie in win-10 was the annoying recommend settings popup message on the start of every session,
I don't use default settings and that triggers it for some reason in win-10,
Full screen viewing or not I believe was the only other difference in the metro deal
Never viewed the other versions I didn't use 8.1 all that much wasn't anything special there to keep me using it,
Cheers.

Yes, there is a Metro version and the traditional desktop version of IE in Windows 8. If you launch IE from the Metro Tile you get the Metro version. Use the IE shortcut on the taskbar and you get the desktop version. I don't like the Metro version all that much. The is a setting in IE that you can check mark that will have the Metro tile launch the desktop version instead of the Metro version. I've done it.

 

Thanks for the heads up !

Does it say anyplace that they are going to fix the keyboard light?

 

hi guys,

well a more modern taskbar would be nice. Return of the Charms Bar (without having to hit the Windows key and C) would also be nice.

Reactivated the Metro and now i will stay with it as long as MS let's me.

Thanks for the information *Smile

 

I forgot about that issue, my keyboard doesn't have any indicator light on it. It's all on screen notices. I'm not sure if that's a Logitech thing or not? My keyboard is a wireless K350.

EDIT: All I see is added features mentioned, nothing about bug fixes. Your guess is as good as mine.

Good question, I hope it is but at this point it's really not a big deal or deal breaker for me at least. The only time I might check out the num lock light is when I boot up and once the num lock is on I don't check it again,.

Alpha,

my Logitec solar keyboard does not show any light either

I think that the issue has to do with the on/off button that each keyboard uses. If it's the num-lock then it might not work otherwise it might. I have a Corsair K40 and my on/off is separate from the num-lock.
