It is supposed to be more "touch friendly".

btw, for anyone who is interested:

Navigate to:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TaskUI
And create 32-bit value, with value "1"

And now, open TaskUI.exe

It doesn't give as much info as regular taskmgr - not yet anyway .

Jav - any reason you are sending people to another 8 forum?

Don't know how to get glcnd to work yet in this build - any ideas?

removed the link, it was just to give credit to the original finder. (at the end of the day it is not my finding...)

Sadly, still no news on glcnd :(

Here you go
To activate the new PDF reader
1. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Paint\Capabilities"
2.Create a string value and call it "CLSID" and set its value to "{D3E34B21-9D75-101A-8C3D-00AA001A1652}"
4.Open glcnd.exe

That should work

Have already tried that, just opens a blank Reader window. Hitting Ctrl+O opens the file selection dialog, but am not able to see any pdf.

I'm able to open pdf files with it, here is a screenshot;

OK, managed to open something.

Looks like the reader is buggy, has trouble opening more complicated pdfs.

Not only does the reader not open certain pdf's (I havent figured out the pattern yet), it doesnt open multipaged pdf's completely- just the first few pages.

Leaked: Windows 8 Task Manager screenshot

Windows 8 build 7850, the first leaked Windows 8 build, may be old (it was compiled on September 22, 2010) as it's from Milestone 1, but not only does it contain new features such as the Portable Workspace but it also has a new Task Manager. Users on the My Digital Life forums have figured out how to turn it on and have taken a screenshot of how it looks (pictured below).

The new Task Manager is not completely functional in the aforementioned build (closing an application with the utility does not make it disappear from the list). Still, it's noticeably different. As you can see, there are three tabs: Programs, Startup, and Users (compared to Applications, Processes, Performance, and Networking in current versions of Windows). This will likely change, but it's still interesting to see what Microsoft is experimenting with.

Just so everyone's on the same page, the following features have been unlocked (not by me, lol) in 7850 AFAIK:

1) Modern reader (glcnd).
2) New Task manager (taskUI).
3) Webcam (webcam.exe).
4) Explorer ribbon.

Anyone know what happened to the pdf viewer (Modern Reader) in the dev preview version?

Doesn't seem to unlockable, or even present at all...

I like how the task manager looks. It looks pretty cool and it seems to work well with me.

I wonder if it will be released in the beta version, haven't seen anything about it in the development preview.
