Windows 8 UI Evolution!

[@hxdeci]

I think it's interesting to see the evolution of each single Windows version as it was developed, Windows 8 especially

[@runechrider]

i love the blue color on the early windows 8 builds

[@theredstonehive]

I feel like Windows 8.1's reputation was destroyed by Windows 8. Windows 8.1 was/is Windows 7 with touch support for a type of device that was only just entering the market. I think it was a bit like Windows Vista where the OS was great but the hardware was not ready. I am running Windows 11 on that kind of device and I think I might put 8.1 on there while I wait for more touch support on Linux desktop environments.

[@emmanueljimenez1574]

Well, Wayland has better touch screen support than X11 though it's a hit or miss for my DE (KDE Plasma) since the Wayland session there is still buggy as hell. On the other hand, GNOME has a great Wayland session (even if I don't like the DE itself)

[@OctoWick]

you can try dual boot with windows 8.1

[@LanaScott]

⁠I think windows 8.1 was destroyed because it was unbearably slow. I had the worst experience ever using it

[@theredstonehive]

@@emmanueljimenez1574 I found Fedora GNOME works extremely well on touch. I was initially more of a KDE fan but GNOME is great on a convertible laptop.

[@adriandzikon797]

​​@@LanaScottSlow? 8.1 had faster boot times than and it was not destoryed because it was slow (Ps:if you want your computer/laptop to work faster, buy a SSD)

[@reco1I]

even if the ribbon never was useful. it looks nice in the explorer with the Aero design.

It looks like it was designed for Windows 7!

I am not a big fan of Windows 8, but atleast the later start screens looked better than the first. The first one (Windows 7 Enterprise] actually convinced me that I am looking at Windows 95 lmao!

[@brientneilson9282]

I dont know why people did not like the windows 8 but for me the start on windows 8 is the best and most unique thing windows ever got.

[@Niq2000]

agreed

[@DIVECRAFTVODS]

Ur not the only one who loved 8’s ui😁

[@XboxAngryBirdsMinecraft]

Same but they could add Aero theme so we could choose between Aero and Metro

[@GroupNebula563]

for anyone asking, the weird orange circles were placeholder icons

[@ranchocommodorereef]

I definitely thought that.

[@raidev_]

I like the aesthetic they were going for in the betas, reminds me of old windows phones

[@ranchocommodorereef]

That was definitely what they were going for, which makes it unique.

[@oosha2000]

I don't hate windows 8 but hey those beta and RTM backgrounds look pretty dazzling even windows 8.1 seems more underrated than windows 10.

[@Angelgreat]

Do the Windows 10 Desktop evolution next!

[@flopdingu]

Windows8's development is pretty. and windows 8.1 looks good too!

[@jerrytojerry5251]

I miss windows 8.1 🥺

[@darkerfalcon3747]

The windows 8.1 version is the April 2014 Update. The original Windows 8.1 doesn't have the shut down and search button and there isn't the store button in the application bar and onedrive is called skydrive like windows 8. Why you forgot em?

[@yanithepiplup1104]

I thought these developer build expired by one year after Windows 8 release?? Windows 8: Are you kidding me?

[@NobelTech]

They did expire. Difference is that the device restarts every 1-2 hours.

[@superNova5837]

The tiles the more you think about it if you could get small rectangular tiles that might look really good

[@DemB0y]

Microsoft's priority for Windows 8 was always to make the start screen the size of the entire screen ... 😮

[@therobloxianstar4689]

Windows 8.1 is the legendary! (I hate Windows 8 just because of no Start button, overall it's nice) I will NEVER forget it!

[@Eduar6996]

The fact that Windows 8’s support lasted until a year before Vista’s EOL is pretty damning on the concept they were trying to push. With 8.1, it was the closest thing to having a Windows 7 setup with further support. And now it’s just a version that did everything well except truly fixing that one crippling flaw.

[@lenni-builder]

I bought a Win8 RT Tablet, and now i see, how well it works on touch! I will downgrade my Win10 tablet to 8.1, too. Is there a way to downgrade from 10 to 8.1 without loosing programs and data??
