I still can't understand how the Consumer Preview takes longer for him to boot than the DP. It's faster, and everything is much more stable than the DP. It acts betters and has better device support as well.
Here's an interesting thread about 'things' missing...

Article is complete crap, Consumer Preview is much faster and stable then previous editions. Also, if you don't like Metro than use desktop, what's the big problem. Also the dam thing isn't done, they have 7 more months before it is released, lighten up and get a life.

Well said, if I said all that it would start an argument with someone but I'm glad you were able to pull it off.
The no sound, I'm assuming system sounds, wait until the Release Candidate. I've found four new sounds that are of metro, there will be sounds. And they will be of metro!I still can't understand how the Consumer Preview takes longer for him to boot than the DP. It's faster, and everything is much more stable than the DP.

The CP takes longer to boot, than the DP, on my PC.
I've found the CP to be worse, than the DP:
- Longer boot time (not that I care about boot time anyway)
- No sound.
- No "Start Menu".
Things that are the same:
- Can't change font types.
- Can't adjust font size (not dpi setting).
- Reduced RAM usage vs W7.
- Good operating speed.
Or maybe the things missing are missing because they're not fully completed.....Here's an interesting thread about 'things' missing...

Oh ok. That's weird. I would bet the other things weren't transferred probably because it's still in development. Keep in mind, this is a beta build, not a build that is threshold away from the final. I would imagine most if not all is transferred over.The no sound, I'm assuming system sounds, wait until the Release Candidate. I've found four new sounds that are of metro, there will be sounds.

I meant that it won't install my sound driver.
W8 DP had no problems and it had sounds (maybe not the login/logoff ones).
As for the other things, why weren't they jsut transfered across like most of the standard W7 functions?

The logon and off sound events aren't going to be gone. There will be a new sound scheme.

Someone said something in a podcast linked somewhere here, but people like this are like Apple fanboys. Why do you Metro lovers care this much what other people think who disagree with you? Why are you so emotionally attached to a freaking OS? What was "pulled off" here was a nice bit of childish pouting. A lot of people genuinely do not like Metro. Maybe you're the ones who need to get over it, whatever "it" is eating you up like this. And I'm not trying to start a fight here, I'm just saying - seriously, lighten up - follow your own advice. You'll end up with a stroke before age 40.
Is it too much to ask if we can discuss this rationally?
