Just a quick question. Since the charms bar is gone, how do you search or share inside a full screen app now?

more people that want Zune back
I have been trying really hard to like Xbox Music. I force myself to use it because I want to be one of the eight people that support Microsoft and Xbox Music. But is it no Zune! Bring back Zune as a universal app!
Is there an Xbox Music API? Maybe we should just write a Zune app using their APIs.
There are a lot of people that had no business installing this Tech Preview.
I'm probably misreading you, but it sounds as though you're suggesting they should only get feedback from desktop loving cheerleaders. This week's event and preview was billed as showing more of the consumer features. I jumped in with physical hardware this time--my Dell XPS 12 2-in-1--so that I could provide meaningful feedback about my experience with the preview. I have done that and will continue to experiment with it.
Microsoft should get honest feedback about where they're going, even if it upsets some.
I am also fearful of how the tablet functionality on my Surface Pro 3 might be impacted. I have the preview installed in Parallels on my Mac and I really hope that this is less desktop centric than it seems. I also agree that 8.1 is great on a tablet and I too no longer use my iPad and I gave my Note 10.1 2014 away as the experience on my Surface is far superior. Yes, the Surface is closer hardware wise to being a laptop, but I have an awesome laptop (15 Retina MBP) already, and I did not buy the Surface to use primarily as a laptop. Actually, I use it mainly as a tablet and as a desktop when docked. Hopefully tablet focused updates are still coming. Also, I hope that you can hide the taskbar in tablet mode and also that title bars are not there.
So many people hung up on the un-needed start button, that they are praising this tossed together mess. 8.1 had a purpose. The direction 10 is headed, it seems they are just trying to make the loudest group ('I NEED A START BUTTON!') happy, at the cost of bastardizing the whole vision they originally had.I agree completely, REALLY hoping Microsoft has lots of work left on the touch side. I too expected way more progress on touch. It might be enough that I won't need to uninstall like I did with the first preview (clearly meant only for desktop experience) but its not good and has a long ways to go....
With less crying I hope.
Nope. The 'Start Button People' cried loud and long until they bastardized this thing.... I'm crying loud and long until they put this train back on the tracks.
