Windows 10 Will Have Screen Recording Tool
Mark Wilson writes: Windows 10 has not even been released yet, but that's a perfect reason to start unearthing a few secrets. Over the coming weeks and months there will undoubtedly be an endless stream of tips, tricks, and tweaks to try out, but how's this for starters? Windows 10 has a secret screen recording tool that can be used to capture on-screen activity as a video file. Taking a static screenshot is very simple. You can either hit the Print Screen key, use the Snipping Tool, or turn to one of the countless screen capture tools out there — many of which are free. When it comes to capturing video, however, it's something of a different story. Before you splash out on a dedicated tool such as Camtasia, you might want to try out Windows 10's hidden tool. It's designed for gamers really, but anyone can use it. The Game bar is a toolbar which Microsoft meant for gamers to use to capture screenshots of their high scores, as well as video footage of their gaming skills. Despite the name, it is not limited to use within games
Looks like Microsoft has learned from the past. This time instead of releasing an OS and letting people comment, they're releasing "nuggets" of features and then having their shils spit out their "talking points."
About 1/3 are pro-Microsoft: "Oh how awesome! I've been wanting this feature forever. It's so awesome!" (Hasn't been released yet...)
The other 2/3 are rebuttals:
1. You need to wear a tinfoil hat. If you don't trust Microsoft you're paranoid.
2. You see conspiracies everywhere. If you don't believe everywhere in this "article" (it's not an article) then you think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy.
3. Microsoft is more trustworthy than Apple
4. Microsoft is more trustworthy than an OS with no vendor!!! (Linux)
Add a PR-created "leak" of Cortana for Android (ooh how clever, it's like Siri from Windows on an Android... )
Color me impressed they're putting almost as much effort into this as Vladimir Putin does into his.
