Windows 10: Charms Bar Removed, No Start Screen For Desktops
jones_supa writes Late last week, Microsoft pushed out a new build (9926) of Windows 10 to those of you who are running the Technical Preview. The latest version comes with many new features, some easily accessible, others bubbling under, but two big changes are now certain: the Charms bar is dead, and Start Screen for large devices is no more. Replacing the Charms bar is the Action Center, which has many of the same shortcuts as the Charms bar, but also has a plethora of other information too. Notifications are now bundled into the Action Center and the shortcuts to individual settings are still easily accessible from this window. The Start Screen is no longer present for desktop users, the options for opening it are gone. Continuum is the future, and it has taken over what the Start Screen initiated with Windows 8.
Just because open source projects can choose terrible names doesn't mean they have a monopoly on it.
I read the internet for the articles.
Thank you, Mr. Ballmer.
Now they're just marketing doublespeak.
So true. When I saw the blurb about the 'charms bar' I immediately imagined an exclusive hipster cereal bar in San Francisco that exclusively served lucky charms cereal with organic unpasteurized milk. The flatware was reclaimed 1890s mining camp tin spoons, and the maitre'd was dressed like lucky the leprechaun.
I suppose we have that dumb fuck Balmer to thank for this....
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
Please Incontinent-Wombat and Diarrhea Tapir are fine names for projects.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/... The real Windows 10! We fixed everything.
The shepherds did so well protecting the flock that the sheep no longer believed that wolves existed.
Almost. But it's the OS that's alive or dead, you just won't know 'til you try to save your work.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Do you have a citation for those claims? You're a typical Republican liar. You always get caught when someone asks you lying pieces of shit for proof. That is not true. Those are not actual project names. They are not the names used. They don't exist. They are a lie. You are a piece of shit. You are the reason Republicans lie so much because they get away with it since people here don't think criically and ask for proof of your lies. I hope you die.
Shitty names and FOSS go hand-in-hand.
If you can think of another name for the Secure Human Interface Teletype then why don't submit it to the shitty developers? Or make your own shitty fork if you don't want to work with the shitty team. All of the code is right there in the shitty repository.
That brown stuff isn't shoe polish.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
I thought the first season of Continuum was pretty good. But the second season was just tedious. Got tired of them constantly resolving storylines with "but then we just changed history again with time travel."
