Is there a way to enable metro on a 1024x600 netbook?
- by scatmoi
Windows 8 Consumer Preview works great on my 1024x600 netbook but, for some strange reason, Microsoft decided to provide its Metro interface only to 1024x768 and up screens.
"Strange" because Android can work with as little as 240x320 screens, and I know that Microsoft is presumably targeting smartphones, too, in its upcoming Windows 8.
The interface itself is there with all the panels etc. but when one of the rectangles is pressed, Windows 8 just refuses to launch any application (even Internet Explorer), except for Windows Explorer.
Looks to me like this isn't a real hardware limitation but some arbitrary flag set in the registry.
Is there any way or tweak to enable the Metro interface on 1024x600 screen?
