More Windows 8.1 Update 1 leaks appear - shows the ability to run Windows 8 apps on the legacy desktop

With the number of Windows eight Update one screenshots flooding the web, it feels similar the latest operating arrangement update from Microsoft has already hit. In previously leaked screenshots nosotros were able to see the beginning of a merge between Windows legacy applications and Windows 8 applications. Nosotros were shown that the operating system update will bring with information technology the ability to pin your favorite applications to the taskbar. Merely now, we are seeing possible screenshots of Windows 8 applications being able to run directly on the desktop itself.

The leak comes once proceeds from, WZor, and was posted on his personal weblog less than twenty-four hours agone. The new build is being quoted every bit "9600.16606.WINBLUES14_GDR_LEAN.140126-20 42" and does in fact show Windows 8 applications non only being pinned to the desktop, but also running in contained windows.

The Windows 8 application windows themselves stick with a minimalist border design (quite frankly, what nosotros hoped to see with regular Windows 8 desktop applications), that characteristic the apps icon on the left manus side and window control options, such equally minimize and close, on the right hand side. It appears that if a user right clicks the app icon, they are also presented with the additional options to snap the application to the Left or Right.

Another supposedly leaked screenshot comes from PCPortal.org.ru and shows the Windows taskbar running below an open up Windows 8 awarding – Bing Finance in this example. This screenshot lacks the border buttons from WZor's leaked screenshots, and so it may exist a contradiction or simply an alternative fashion of viewing the app itself. If we had to choose between the two, we would lean with more than confidence towards WZor's claims.

Windows 8.1 Update 1 is rumored to go far this March and it is aimed to truly unify the Windows 8 application interface with the older mode legacy desktop. The question is, are yous excited?

Kinect is dead. Long live Kinect.

Kinect was expert. In that location I said it.

Hindsight is 20/xx, every bit they say, perchance fifty-fifty sharper when using Kinect's high-powered cameras to view it. This is a homage to Kinect, a peripheral that was ahead of its time, and doomed by poor positioning.
