Reply With QuoteThe Windows 8 homecsreen is modeled after the 7 phones. After you get past that it's expected to be a usual desktop environment. Think of it as a fancy, in your face start menu. This is all over the place btw. You should know this.

a more likely explanation: they adopted the dumbass guide blades for 8's new ui but haven't rewritten the base code yet so everything is still labelled for 360
So much ****ing semen.

know my ass; 7 until they force me to update again (since it's the xp of the aero releases and all)

Not exactly, as Windows 8 also includes a new development framework (based on HTML5+JS) as well as all the ARM ports, etc. Considering the next version of the Xbox 360 dash (the 7th or 8th revision, lol) features a tiles sort of interface, it's quite likely there is shared code there.Originally Posted by Dyne

He specifically said blades (which was what, the first UI for the 360?). I agree with what you're saying though. It's the start to having a similar experience across all three platform. Mobile, home and gamebox.

my dashboard still has blades
(or at least the functional equivalent, whatever was in the dashboards from last year)

The NXE has been around since Nov 19th of 2008 so I have no idea what you're talking about. Unless you seem to think tiles are blades.

There are blades when you hit the Xbox button during a game.
So much ****ing semen.
That's like a sub-dash, not the main interface.
