Reply to Live blogging Windows 8 first day in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote]Performance I can’t put my finger on it but it feels sluggish. Launching things is noticeably faster. It’s snappier when opening windows. But when I’m typing or interacting with apps I’m used to interacting day in and day out, they feel sluggish (even typing this blog in, I’m feeling a slight delay between the key press and the letter appearing).

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="26" id="3204341"]Unless Microsoft were to some how try to legally force us not to do something to Windows, there's no real technical way for them to prevent us from doing what we'd like. We know the system internals of Windows as well as anyone at Microsoft at this point.[/quote] So if W8 retail drops you throw out a new SKS and WB the next day and i can start making my first W8 skin that will include Metro-nameless -PERFECT CANT WAIT<stron
