I miss aero glass. I delayed the transition from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 because of it.

4:38 Ah, the Consumer Preview!

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.

0:25 As a Software Engineer, it makes me feel better to see that even a huge company like Microsoft has its software start from a primitive state. I've had so many times where I knew what I wanted to build and got discouraged when I compared it to where I was at. You learn to appreciate the fact that while doing things in pieces takes time, it makes a daunting task seem so much easier to manage. Development is truly an art form in itself. So cool to see how Windows slowly changes over many internal builds! 😄

Interesting thing that the proximity connection sound was recorded by a person that worked on this build

[@kahungchim6367]

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.

[@reychandor452]

Yes, It's a demo especially Milestones and Pre-DP builds, because it doesn't have a lot of metro apps, the Redlock unlocks all metro apps from the system file and "copies" all of the metro features. Both trusted beta sites betawiki and thecollectionbook already verified the unlocker is real. I don't get the "start menu" part, build 8118 (Late September 2011) is the last to have the Win7 start menu by default (because the redpill isn't enbaled by default) and has the similar start screen as DP. LOL, I made this video before I found a video about unlocking Win8 start menu on Win10 RTM, but at least for those who see this comment can search it... lol

[@kahungchim6367]

@@reychandor452 I should be more clarify about the start menu, which I wanted to say is the start screen. I assume how the unlocker works by copying 8102’s shsxs.dll with bits are modified according to a question i asked back in 2016 on BA. Extra: according to a missing source in pcbeta, the aero effect (the windows 7 one) was deleted due to the performance on arm chips and lack of time, otherwise we would got an option to enable it. Also the removal is quite complete so there are no such perfect implementations available in the market that can recreate aero until windows 10. That dude is also responsible for how the start menu looks like in windows 10. However due to the source is missing, you can treat it as a fun story. www.betaarchive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=36135&p=419095#p419095
