nsane.forums Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 A screenshot from an unspecified build of Windows 8.1 has revealed some minor changes, including a renaming of 'Computer' to 'This PC', and a removal of the Libraries feature in favor of folders.According to a new screenshot of an unspecified development build of Windows 8.1, Microsoft has made a minor change and renamed 'Computer' to 'This PC', while also removing the Libraries feature in favor of top level folders that sit inside 'This PC'. These folders appear to be the same as My Documents, My Music, My Videos, (etc.) just with the 'My' prefix removed and a repositioning into an easier to access location.Why the development team has made these adjustments remains a mystery, although it could be to consolidate the range of personal folders available from within Windows. Currently Windows 8 has both Libraries and the default folders available from within the User folder; Windows 8.1 could merge these together to make it easier to share files between devices. Renaming 'Computer' to 'My PC' would also facilitate easier networking between secondary devices, such as tablets.Another reason for the changes could be to make using a Modern UI file browser, such as the one seen in build 9369, easier. The leaked 'Files' app already uses 'This PC' to describe the location of files on the local device, so making similar changes in the desktop File Explorer would unify the experience.Microsoft continues to polish Windows 8.1 ahead of a full reveal at BUILD 2013, where a public preview version is expected to be made available. The final version of Windows 8.1, codenamed 'Blue', is set for release later in 2013.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted May 10, 2013 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2013 Just when you thought Microsoft couldn't become more ridiculous, they come with such a kiddish, unprofessional name.Again, it beats me why "My Computer" was required to change in the first place.

LiLmEgZ Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Slap the cuffs on MS!Microsoft this week said that it had sold 100 million licenses of Windows 8 in the operating system's first six months. But how many copies are being used? 41% of all Windows 8 licenses sold aren't being used!Above quote goes to show how bad Windows 8 truly is....

CODYQX4 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Really who cares that they changed the name. People are trying to hard to cry about something.They renamed the object to "This PC" without a UI change, and went back to "XP Style Folders", the OS that haters and whiners say is just so good and everything else is crap (yet they all went W7).
