Gosto:
- do preto em geral, simples skin e muito limpa
- barra semelhante ao 8.1 (bem nao podiam mudar muito tb)
- novo IE apesar de eu ser reticente a usar mas testo sempre antes de dizer os contra.
Não gosto:
- search bar do windows (possivelmente da para tirar nao?)
- os tabs no IE (caso tenhas varios) deviam ser separados por um preto/cinza mais claro pois assim notava-se os mesmos.
De resto parece-me bem, isso continua com Desktop mode possivel correcto?
O browser tem a opção de cor clara ou escura. Não sei se este é o aspeto final do tema escuro porque é a primeira compilação onde o utilizo, pode ser que ainda venham a alterar algo, não sei.
A barra de tarefas a preto fui eu que meti através do tema, tens a opção de mudar para diversas cores á tua escolha na app das definições, ou para a cor automática do tema que tenhas escolhido, mas a cor escolhida irá ser também a cor do menu iniciar (podes colocar ou retirar a transparência ao menu iniciar, barra de tarefas e centro de notificações).
Ao Edge só lhe falta de facto as extensões, que já foi dito que irão ser adicionadas numa data posterior ao lançamento do sistema, através de uma atualização da app pela loja do Windows (as atualizações são automaticas por isso nem se dá por elas são feitas em background)
A barra de pesquisa na barra de tarefas dá para retirar totalmente, ter como está ou passar a ter apenas um icone da lupa, em que se clica no icone e expande para a tal barra que está.
Em relação aos tabs não sei se irão ainda ser alterados.
No Windows 10 já não existe aquela divisão de mundos entre desktop e metro. É tudo desktop. Caso queiras ter as coisas em ecrã inteiro por estares num ecrã touch, basta ativares o modo tablet que está no centro de notificações, um dos icones no canto inferior direito da barra de tarefas, que abre um menu do lado direito.
De notar que começa a ver-se nesta compilação que a Microsoft está a optar por icones simplistas para as apps na barra de tarefas. Parece que vão acabar com os icones com cor de background, fica só o icone da app, sem a cor por trás. O Edge já está assim, o OneNote também e a app Música também. Mas penso que vão extender isso a mais apps nas compilações futuras.
How To Legally Obtain Windows 10 Free Even Without Licensed Windows 7 or 8
With Microsoft’s Windows 10 on track for a July 29 release, several consumers running unlicensed copies might have been severely disappointed that they will not be able to run the ‘unified interface’ platform due to not having a legitimate copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8. Absolutely wrong. It is time to stuff some hope in to your fallen spirits because the software giant has underlined several numerous types of pirates, and solutions on how you can upgrade your platform for free absolutely no charge. Any One Signed Up For The Insider Program Will Be Getting A Windows 10 upgrade
Thanks to a blog post published on Windows’ website, the company’s Windows head Gabe Aul has addressed several questions. Starting off, Aul states that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade to anyone who has signed up for the Insider program. The Insider program only requires you to make an account with Microsoft, and that requires absolutely no charge at all.
Gabe Aul also states in the blog post that:
“As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build and remain activated. Once you have successfully installed this build and activated, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh.”
Additionally, the executive also stated that:
“I’ve gotten a lot of questions from Windows Insiders about how this will work if they clean installed from ISO. As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build and remain activated. Once you have successfully installed this build and activated, you will also be able to clean install on that PC from final media if you want to start over fresh.”
In a summary of everything stated above, users will be receiving a Window 10 upgrade if they are running a licensed version of Windows 7 or Windows 8 and above (which was a no brainer). However, if you are not running a legit copy of the aforementioned platforms, then all you have to do is sign up for Windows’ Insider Preview program, and grab an ISO file of Windows 10. When the final build arrives on July 29, your upgrade will be granted to you.
Pretty sweet right? Now all we have to do is wait for the actual product to be released and see if Microsoft kept its promise or not.
Windows 10 Is A Free Upgrade For Those Who Install The Latest Windows 10 Insider Preview
Interest and confusion over who will be able to install Windows 10 keeps piling up as the release date nears in. As of the previous news, we know that Windows 10 will be available for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users free of charge. The offer lasts within a 12 month time period after the arrival of the upgrade. As a prerequisite, you will have to reserve your copy which will be prompted on the Taskbar via an update from Microsoft.
While the confusion lasted, it was presumed that users running the Windows Vista and Windows XP will be left out without a free upgrade to Windows 10. Pity! This meant these users will have to buy a costly full genuine copy of the update and install it manually. The copy will probably cost $119, which by word is quite expensive as compared to a free upgrade. However, Maximum PC have spotted some good news for all those users who are not running Windows 7 or 8.1. So roll down for details.

Install The Latest Windows 10 Insider Preview And Get The Update For Free
Microsoft has introduced a new way for outdated users to install Windows 10 on their PCs. The big news being, if you install the Windows 10 Insider Preview on your system, you will get an official update from Microsoft to install Windows 10. The Insider Preview of Windows 10 should have a build number of (build 10130). Given that your system should support the hardware details to run the update. Secondly, you should use the Microsoft Account which is registered for the Insider Preview program for Windows 10. This is how the outdated users can install Windows 10 free of charge and your Windows will stay genuine and working.
The method has been confirmed yesterday on Twitter by Microsoft’s Gabe Aul. Aul states, “As long as you are running an Insider Preview build and connected with the MSA (Microsoft Account) you used to register, you will receive the Windows 10 final release build and remain activated,” In the forthcoming days, Microsoft will make use of Microsoft Accounts from tester to give away updated builds of Windows 10. By doing so, testers will be able to keep receiving future updates on the program even when the final version has been finalized.
So if you want your free copy of Windows 10 and you’re running a Windows XP or Vista, simply install the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview. Yes there will be a minor change in features as these users will not be getting games and widgets, stuff that mostly doesn’t make quite big of a difference. If you want the free copy, install the Insider Preview as soon as possible as there is no idea of when might Microsoft close the deal. As for now, let us know in the comments how you feel about the good news.
Microsoft’s messaging as far as free copies of Windows 10 goes has been confusing at times. While we have known for some time that those who own a genuine copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 will be getting the upgrade, Microsoft has also alluded to pirate copies getting the upgrade in the past and later backtracked.
Now, Microsoft is backtracking again, as a recent Windows blog post said that those who have been helping test Windows 10 up until now as part of the preview program would have access to the final build and their licenses would remain active. After the news broke, the company updated the blog to remove that references to preview licenses remaining active after the release of Windows 10.
Now the blog post clearly states that while preview users will receive the final build of Windows 10 on the 29th of July “It’s important to note that only people running Genuine Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 can upgrade to Windows 10 as part of the free upgrade offer.”
So unfortunately, if you have been helping test Windows 10 leading up to the operating system’s launch, you will still need to buy the OS or own a copy of Windows 7 or 8.1 to receive a genuine Windows 10 license, which is a bit of a shame, after all these people did help shape the operating system for months.
Pelos vistos já vieram de novo dizer que quem tiver como Insider é gratuito. O problema da MS não são as borlas deles, são mesmo os departamentos de comunicação e marketing. Aquilo nunca funcionou muito bem...
Link - http://winbeta.org/news/microsoft-clears-confusion-reaffirms-free-windows-10-insiders
Microsoft is set to release Windows 10 on July 29th and users of current versions of the operating system will get an upgrade free of charge. That's what Microsoft has made abundantly clear since last January when it presented key consumer features of the new OS including Cortana, Project Spartan (now Microsoft Edge), DirectX 12, and Hololens, which seemingly runs some version of Windows 10.
So where's the confusion?
Since that announcement, Microsoft has sent mixed signals (morethanonce) and speculation has built on top of that about who gets the free upgrade and who doesn't, if Insiders get a free pass or not. Here's a brief overview of the different upgrade paths to Windows 10 that explains it all... Windows 10 for Insiders
If you are an Insider (beta tester), there are three things you need to know:
Microsoft is giving Insiders a free upgrade pathto the final release of the OS. This only means you will be able to upgrade from the Preview to the final RTM (Release to Manufacturing) code without the need of a clean install, but this doesn't get you a free copy of Windows 10.
Microsoft has confirmed you will be able to validate current Windows 7/8 licenses to get a genuine Windows 10 license when coming from the Insider Previews. For more about this, see the section below "Windows 10 for current users of Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1."
If you don't have a Windows license to upgrade from, you can either buy Windows 10 or you can keep using Windows 10 as an Insider. Microsoft plans to continue the Insider program after Windows 10 ships. This means you can keep using Windows 10 Preview builds (even if they are exactly as the final release) and subsequent builds in the Fast and Slow ring. These builds have an expiration date, but as the Insider program continues, you can just keep getting newly updated builds and automated extensions of your Windows install indefinitely, as long as Microsoft doesn't pull the plug on the beta testing program.
Windows 10 for pirates
Users running pirated copies of Windows 7 and Windows 8 will be able to upgrade to Windows 10. However, their Windows license will remain invalid after the upgrade process is complete, meaning pirates won't be getting a "free" upgrade to Windows 10.
This will likely mean that non-genuine users will be subject to anti-piracy countermeasures after the upgrade, if previous versions are anything to go by. With this move, Microsoft gets the opportunity to "re-engage" pirates by making the upgrade path straightforward and have a wider adoption of its latest OS platform regardless if the user paid for a license or not. Windows 10 for current users of Windows Vista, XP
Windows XP was released 13 years ago and it is no longer a supported platform. There is no way you will be able to upgrade to Windows 10 from XP or Vista systems, a clean install will be required. No free offers for the first year. Nada. Windows 10 for current users of Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1
Windows 10 will come as a free upgrade from Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 7 for the first year. Once a device is upgraded to Windows 10, it’ll be supported for the lifetime of the device.
Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic, Premium and Windows 8.1 users will be upgraded to Windows 10 Home
Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Windows 8.1 Pro users will be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro
Windows Phone 8.1 users will be upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile
Windows Enterprise, Windows RT and Windows 8 users are not eligible for a free upgrade
Microsoft's intention is clear: drive massive adoption of its latest operating system on most modern PCs. Windows 7 is found on nearly half of all Windows-based PCs and a wide majority of that hardware will be equally capable to run the more secure, up to date version of the OS.
What happens after the first year?
Microsoft under Satya Nadella is rapidly changing, and Windows as a service appears to be next. The company has already talked about moving away from big Windows releases in favor of smaller incremental updates that continually evolve the operating system. They have gone as far as calling it the last version of Windows.
“Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10,” said Jerry Nixon, a Microsoft Developer Evangelist.
Users taking advantage of the free upgrade from Windows 7 and Windows 8 can continue to use Windows 10 as valid license owners indefinitely.
Those who for some reason don't upgrade until after the offer has expired will likely have to pay for Windows 10.
At least in the short term, Microsoft has announced Windows 10's pricing will stay the same as Windows 8.1's. That means Windows 10 Home will retail for $119, just like standard Windows 8.1; while Windows 10 Pro will retail for $199, just like Windows 8.1 Pro. The Windows 10 Pro Pack, allowing you to upgrade from Home to Pro, will cost $99. Windows as a Service
With Microsoft meaning to build Windows 10 into every type of device -- PCs, tablets, phones, Xbox, HoloLens, IoT appliances -- there may be a future where consumers may never have to pay for Windows again. Even today, OEMs are no longer paying for Windows on devices smaller than 9 inches.
But evidently a world where Microsoft makes no money is nowhere near to reality. What we're seeing instead is the disruption of a model that has served them well for the last three decades, but is no longer sustainable when your list of direct competitors includes the likes of Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung and Facebook, to name a few.
We won't know for a while, but a new Windows business model could take many shapes: subscription-based, pay what you want/pay for add-ons, indirect sales via Bing ads and the Windows Store, a Windows + Office 365 cloud bundle...
Making money from an active base of Windows users is the company's next big challenge, but to get there they've first set sights on building massive adoption into a single platform. The company learned this the hard way with mobile: there is no product to monetize if no one is using your product.
Is Microsoft planning to sell Windows 10 on USB flash drives?
According to a report on the German language WinFuture site Microsoft is readying its Windows 10 physical distribution SKUs right now. The upcoming release will bring a key distribution differentiator to the next version of Windows, notes an unnamed source. Windows 10 will be sold online, distributed as boxed copies, on DVDs and sold on USB flash-based thumb drives.
As you can see above, the WinFuture report includes screenshots, said to show some retail inventory system or similar. Both the Home and Professional versions of Windows 10 will be made available in SKUs based around flash drives. You can see that they are detailed as offering the buyer 32-bit/64-bit install options (English in these cases). The WinFuture source and screenshots reinforce Paul Turrott's Tweeted info titbit from last week when he said "Looks like Microsoft will be selling Windows 10 on a USB stick at retail".
Readers will note that the flash drive package is priced higher than the digitally distributed and DVD distributed Windows 10. Microsoft confirmed prices of Windows 10 Home $119, and Windows 10 Pro, $199, at the beginning of this month. The USB flash drive version of Windows 10 Home costs $144.23, so you would be in effect paying around $24 extra for the physical flash drive version. Windows 10 Pro on flash drive is about $38 more expensive than the digital/boxed DVD versions for some reason.
A lot of people will be saying 'it's about time' Microsoft embraced flash drives as a preferred physical distribution method. Such drives have become extremely cheap, especially when bought in multiples - and even for those that still pack an ODD drive in their PC - a flash drive option could save a lot of install time.
O problema é que o preço de um dvd não se deve comparar ao de uma pen para a Microsoft e pelo que está escrito na notícia essa versão ficará mais cara que a "normal" dvd. Acho que o futuro será comprar apenas uma chave e fazer o download do .iso no site da Microsoft.
É verdade, muito ainda irá mudar. Também o preço de armazenamento flash cai a cada dia que passa pelo que não me admirava nada que daqui a uns anos já só exista uma "mini pen" com usb-c e nem o formato dvd exista, e até eventualmente (e parece a direcção para onde este CEO quer ir) o próprio Windows, office e derivados (onde drive etc) sejam um serviço pago anualmente.
