I was just watching the live conference for Windows 8, I actually haven't finished but their website doesn't want to load the rest and I was probably 30 minutes behind, who knows. All I can say is, the OS looks amazing from so many different aspects. And even though I'm no developer I'm sure some if not all (unless they're anti-Windows) is stoked to try the OS out.
Windows 8 Development Conference
-
I'll just keep using the desktop style and not the metro style, so Windows 8 isnt too big of a difference.
-
I don't think I'll upgrade for a while, 7 is enough for me, at least for now.

Can anyone download the thingie from windows' site at 8PM PDT?

I've read that a lot of development will focus on HTML5 and JavaScript, which is awesome for me.
Know any sites that have video of the conference? I can't seem to find anything really. Mostly just tech sites giving reviews but I want to see the actual conference.

The Windows Developer Preview? I'm downloading it now. Might install it in a VM if it will."I've never understood ethnic or national pride, because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth."

There's no hiding that Microsoft had tablets and phones at their forefront when developing Windows 8, but it's also designed for use on standard PCs and laptops/netbooks.

And for fuck sake I hate Silverlight. I accidentally went from full screen to normal size and now I can't get the video to play again, even if I load it into a different browser. I don't even know why Microsoft is bothering with this shit. HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery are quickly making this shit obsolete."I've never understood ethnic or national pride, because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth."

Yeah true, I'm glad though that they still considered the rest of us rather than stick to mobile devices and such. And I had an issue with loading the video earlier, switching from full to normal was fine but it randomly cut off and I just assumed they were up to something. I watched he rest off the video on my iPod, worked perfectly fine; though it's not good watching it compared to on a bigger screen. -
I just restarted and it still won't load. Fuck it. I was enjoying it but they can all go to hell."I've never understood ethnic or national pride, because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth."

Watched/Listened to the rest of it at work. I'm pretty stoked for Windows 8 now. Looks awesome. I'll probably install the developer preview this weekend."I've never understood ethnic or national pride, because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth."

Awesome, sounds like it runs decently in VirtualBox."I've never understood ethnic or national pride, because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth."

I downloaded yesterday's keynote because I'm cool like that. I might watch a few parts over again to see them again.
Fuck it I think I'll install it now."I've never understood ethnic or national pride, because to me pride should be reserved for something you achieve or attain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth."
