a2ms Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Windows 8 Consumer Preview has caught a lot of attention, but if your have tried it you see the new metro UI is very different and a lot of common tasks such as shutdown the computer or closing an application are nos as intuitive. Seems like we need a guide to understand and re-learn how to do those day to day tasks, so I found a post that compiles a list of useful Win8 tasks. :pos: Windows 8 Consumer Preview (aka beta version) has just been released. This prerelease version of Windows 8 focuses on people and apps and gives you powerful new ways to use social technologies to connect with the people who are important to you. It's Windows reimagined. Windows 8 Consumer Preview is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7 and has the security and reliability features you expect from Windows, but we’ve made it even better. It’s fast, and it’s made to work on a variety of form factors—especially the new generation of touch devices. One dramatic change Microsoft has introduced in Windows 8 is the Metro style user interface, a reimagining user experience of Windows. The new Metro user interface has been carefully designed and built and therefore very intuitive to new and experienced Windows users. However, the change also requires users, myself included, to learn or re-learn new ways of working with applications and the Windows environment in general, from some basic tasks of turning your PC or tablets or slates off to resetting your device to default settings without losing apps and user data and settings. :view: Go to: Windows 8 Consumer Preview Power User How To Series It includes: Windows 8 How To: 1.
