Heh, I have an old Dual-Core Celeron, and she's running smoothly. Then again, don't put it under much pressure normally, so maybe that helps.

I'm sure it's not the final product. :D

I actually don't mind the icons, but they could do with a bit of refining, which I imagine will happen with time.

Me as well. Dual-core Celeron 2.13Ghz without Hyper Threading + 4GB RAM and it runs quite well.

Just don't give it too many tasks at once. :)

It's currently a backup machine at work linked to my DropBox, and I use it when my main machine is busy or need to access something quickly. At home it stays in its' bag, unless my home PC is down for whatever reason.

Is there any issue with BD/DVD playback with the 9926 build? I use my home PC for that, besides the usual gaming (when I get the time for THAT, that is). My SO uses it primarily for browsing and FB games, so doubt she will notice much, except a different UI.

Not sure, my Intel NUC does not have a built-in DVD/BD playback device.

Maybe have a look on the Windows Central web site that Arthur has just posted?
 
One thing that constantly bugs me is that you have a new Settings menu, but a Control Panel as well.

I guess the Control Panel will be dumped in the end and all functions migrated to the Settings Menu?
 
My Store (Beta) app doesn't seem to be working anymore....Just shows the store logo forever :(

Mine works fine and I can even install apps from it now.

I'm using a local account to login to store with and can't really think what makes my build different than yours.

Just installed the latest update and the South African English language pack, but that's it. :confused:

The Office apps are for tablets and mobile devices, not desktops. You won't find it if you search for it.

Microsoft is currently working on Office 2016 and it will be released later in 2015, maybe August/September.
