New features and changes[edit | edit source]
User interface[edit | edit source]
Applications[edit | edit source]
A modernized version of the Skype application has been added as a replacement for the Messaging application included as part of Windows 8, and slight visual changes to the Xbox Music application have been made to incorporate a brighter color scheme. The modernized Help and Tips application now contains proper help content, replacing the previous placeholder content included as part of the official Preview build. The start screen's layout now includes a near-final design; it would later receive minimal changes in the lead-up to the RTM build.
Miscellaneous[edit | edit source]
The Work Folders Control Panel applet has received its final icon design.
Bugs and quirks[edit | edit source]
- For some reason, the Polish version's "Microsoft Confidential" watermark gets cut off early.
