Windows Blue 9364 Screenshots Show Feature Enhancements

An anonymous reader writes "As expected, a new pre-public version of Windows Blue (build 9364) has leaked online and it reveals a handful of features that are coming in the next big Microsoft Windows 8 update." Several sites have screenshots from the build; Hot Hardware says "Assuming this is all completely legitimate, the most obvious change pertains to the Metro UI, including greater flexibility in sizing Live Tiles and customizing the Start screen, particularly as the Personalize setting (among others, including Devices and Share) is now under the Settings charm. The Name Group feature for the Start menu looks a little more polished, too."

Let me give you some advice friend when you run into another one of these keyboard commanders, just say this..."So we should have to print cheat sheets for the OS like its 1986? THAT is innovation?" and watch how quick they STFU because that is EXACTLY what they expect, that Bob the builder and Sally the Secretary and little Mrs Pipkin and all those other normal folks who have been using computers 17+ fucking years now (Win 95-Win 7) are gonna throw ALL that fucking learning and muscle memory away for....what? What do they fucking gain from being a damned keyboard commander?

NOTHING, they gain NOTHING, all being a keyboard commander does is make what WAS a couple of clicks a couple of clicks AGAIN only now they have to keep a God damned list handy so they can ctrl-alt-whatever just to do what was "clicky clicky" and done before!

So you be sure to remember that little bit friend, because as much as I hate saying shill there IS a pretty large force posting the exact same posts, word for word, trying to derail any and all talks about how TIFKAM is really fucked up and stupid and one of their big excuses is the keyboard commander bit. I even had one pop in when I pointed out it was retarded to put shutdown under settings (because what normal person is gonna think shutdown is in control panel?) with a "You don't need that, just use WinKey+R=Shutdown -(time in seconds)"...really? Did he HONESTLY believe that bunch of bullshit was better than 2 damned clicks with a mouse before?

That is why we all need to point out how damned stupid it is to expect the world to go back to the DOS way of doing things because again that is EXACTLY what it is, using the same old keyboard commander crap we used in DOS just to make up for their pitiful design choices.
