Up until mid 2012 they seemed to be refining the aero glass theme really nicely and then just dumped it for a bland monotone window instead. that really bummed me out.

2:58 I still can't get over that proximitayyyy guy 🤣🤣

4:38 Ah, the Consumer Preview! I've had memories of playing with that on my HP TouchSmart tx2, before it eventually died due to a GPU issue before I had the chance to get Windows 8 Pro at a discounted price. I replaced mine with a first generation Surface Pro which I later sold off.
5:19 Interesting to see that someone at Microsoft was experimenting with having Windows Gadget Platform alongside Live Tiles, before giving up on the former and shutting down Windows Live Gallery later on.

For some reason I like the windows 8 and 8.1 UI

[theaninova]

ngl I was kinda sad when they broght back the start button... I was one of the few people who really enjoyed the metro UI.

[gotoofed]

7:07 we have discovered two windows 10 things in this build like close, minimize, and maximize and search bar

[cirkulx]

Who the hell put that proximity sound in my brother’s source code!?!??!
Edit: Windows 8 had *daily* builds in early development, that must be painful finding all the ISOs and the storage it would take.

[MikeyMandFluffyMainProductions]

The builds from sep 2010 to 2011 just looks like an upgrade of windows 7

But wait... when I found the music used in this video from Khinsider, it looked just like an actual Nintendo DS. But when listen to it in this video it's kinda different

[hariranormal]

All those dates and Windows 7 kinda theme is truly nostalgic

[a_nicegaming]

2:14 my favorite windows 8 beta operating system

[RinaldoJonathan]

I just read the name wtf, "Ando Ganteng"

... means "Ando Handsome" in Indonesian.

[kahungchim]

Just saying, this is a demo implementation of the metro API in these builds by copying windows 8 files. We don't get any leaked builds that comes with a start menu.

P.s 10240 you can still "enable" the start menu, method is similar to how leaked builds got their start menus.

2:41 This sounds like it would be in a Wii U

[elizabethmedina]

If The Start Menu from Windows 10 is moved to Windows 7 what happen it?


0:36 This Textures get him

[Cuddlerobot]

0:16 shhh... let’s not leak our hard work

[EdvardiJ]

The May 2011 beta wouldve honestly looked way better than the RTM version.

[Okujassu]

Why the background music using beatnik's nokia "chippy bank" soundfont

4:43 This Consumer Preview brings me nostalgia when using as kid, 6:54 I never seen this version!, Interesting video!
