Actually social integration is better in Windows phone 7 than Windows 8 .. :P

 

Integrated Facebook shows more info on WinPho than Windows 8 RP unless MS changed it in Windows 8 final version

The mail app on WinPho is top notch

 

I was referring to the desktop version .... :)

Adding new tiles after going through the NG link. Metro is slowly growing on. :D

 

Can anyone be kind enough to post a link to the MS conference (and the Google one as well) which took place recently ? Missed it due to wedding. Thanks !

Yeah. Not using Metro at all. And if we're using the Desktop mode for everything, why not just switch to Win 7.

 

 

No upgrade from RP. MS has said this several times. :doh:

 

For those loving tiles, NeoGAF has an awesome thread for customizing them.

Nice find doc. Didn't even know tile customisation was possible.

How to add text on top? Like main, games..etc.

Click on the Minimize button on the lower right corner. You'll get a bird's eye of all the tiles on screen. Just right click the group you want to name and you'll the contextual actions on the bottom pane. From there, you can name it.

In Windows 8 it displays photo albums for each of your fb contacts, it shows all status updates, and it shows notifications. What more was there in WP7?

By more content I mean it shows 2-3 days old content too

While on Windows 8 , it doesn't show content more than a day old

Well, my primary drive is an SSD, which was previously running Win 7 and now Win 8, and there's absolutely no difference in startup and shutdown. If anything, Win 8 seems more laggy. :|

Microsoft rep in Windows blog said U can upgrade from RP to 8 but U should just have a Windows 7 license although the upgrade assistant doesn't ask for it

 

Plus if U upgrade from Windows 8 RP U lose the apps but U could keep your personal files

And all those tricks in which we have to change ini version blah blah upgrades RP to Windows 8 but the Metro apps stop working
