Metro UI hasn't been discovered in 7850, as far as I know. There is however a pretty unfinished Aero theme in 7850, I'm not sure if it has anything to do with Metro UI. But as you said, the build is a bit early.

wtf is this forum ?


btw, thanks for

Windows 8 7850 Activator v0.9 (WZor Team, CODYQX4, sammy1237, BetaArchive and MDL Forums)

It's a protected area that you get when you have more posts.

I have my 7850 running and unverified the hybrid boot to get into safe mode, now that i am done with safe mode I can´t get hybrid boot back. Anybody know how this hybrid boot can be returned?

OK, thank you, Hrimfaxi. I have another question: On the internet there was a screenshot with a new, usefull mounting feature for iso and vhd released. Is this feature available in build 7850? AND, is on the ftp-servers any x64 version available?

ISO Mounting is present in this build, VHD Mounting has been around since early Windows 7, and there's no x64 Windows 7 leaked at the moment.

Well, may as well declare I'm a week late but finally have the ISO. Now to do something with it

*Off Topic - Is that your important download that got cut off (I saw your twitter )*

I'd say just try out all the features that people have cracked open like the PDF reader, new Task Manager and such.

Also, I've heard something along the lines of that WinWorld has some builds of Windows 8.

Only one, and the exact same one here.

Wait what? There's an activator for windows 8?
Edit: Oh god, I need to pay more attention, excuse this doublepost.

Well I have downloaded this build a couple of days ago from another forum and installed in it on Windows 7 Virtual PC and it has work okay so far for me, No issue what so ever and was able to get update for the Build in Windows Defender form Microsoft update ..

Really not much different then Windows 7 buy just small detail . So really this Windows is okay for those users wanting to collect Windows Beta or follow the progress of Windows 8 .

After a few days playing with it, I decided to leave it alone as I can't used it as a Primary OS but will leave it installed on my Windows 7 Virtual PC to see the progress as new release are made available .

How to activate Ribbon UI of Windows explorer in Windows 8 build 7850

create such a key in registry: HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\CLSID\{4F12FF5D-D319-4A79-8380-9CC80384DC08}

create a string value in this key called “AppID”, set its value to “{9198DA45-C7D5-4EFF-A726-78FC547DFF53}”

Here's a .reg file to make everyone's life easier. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3676711/ribbonui.reg

@DeFacto: I haven't known yet that the Ribbon UI is included in the explorer in this very early build. Thx for this post!

Oh, I forgot to thank hounsell for the usefull answer. Thank you! Still another question: Should I ask here or post under other topics?
thx

Let's hope a x64 build will leak.

Cool i think it's a great innovation, i didn't like too mutch the vista-7 style without menu bar visible by default and quite ugly when visible..

ReCreate Good work !
Is there some other "tweaks" like Ribbon UI. I mean direct .reg files because I tried to enable Modern Task Manager but didn't work

Should be able to create a new Topic with only tweaks and hacks available for this Windows Build, This way will keep users from asking the same question for which the answers have already been stated . It will make things a bit easier and users could contribute to new tweaks and hack they have discover so far in this Windows 8 Leak ..

Good Idea thirty5tech

If the first post had a list of the tweaks too in the thread, that would be nice also.

Maybe have links to the post, or at least the page number too.

Thanks, Well lets hope the original poster will take into consideration .

okay, lets someone make topic for tweaks because I haven't time to edit and keep it update.
