Forum rules


Before you post, please make sure...

- ...your topic is related to betas or abandonware. If it is not, don't post it here. Better help sites exist else where.
- ...you have first used Google to look for an answer, and you have asked other people you know via other methods (IM, e-mail, etc).
- ...your question has not been asked before. Search the forum first before posting.

If you meet those criteria, go ahead and post your question. Be sure to provide as much information you can about the problem and how to recreate it. Also provide information on hardware and software if applicable.

Download the Dev channel version to get metro chrome *along with the desktop version*.

Note: this is the thing i just found out, you can only use one metro browser. i-e if chrome is your default browser you can't use metro IE10 and vise versa.

here are some screenshots i took *sorry for the really big screenshots, windows capture is taking screenshots of both of my monitors*

Finally, it's fast but it has some defects like the menu, it doesn't fits with the metro style.

Well, that's only a beta. At least they got around to compiling it for Immersive.

How is it not metro? It has charms, bigger controls, touch friendly navigation, and renders webpages. Seems like they have his a vast majority of metro design points in a developer release stage...

Also It has flash (FWIW nowadays anyway).
