1359191 2013-12-11 08:18:00 You're doing it wrong ;) several times I've used it to turn Hyper-V on and Internet Explorer off.

Why don't you just give up.

Alright. But I swear some people were put on this planet just to complain...

1359194 2013-12-11 09:00:00 I have never change a feature on any PC I have worked on so stop being an MS shill. This doesn't mean others dont use features.

Its like ANY OS, some people use certain functions all the time, while others dont even know they exist.

I'm positive people that use some version of Linux know about options, features that others dont. Speaking of Linux, when they created the menu on the left many people on several forums complained like hell, yet others liked it. So it happens with All OS's when something is changed, cant please everyone all the time :)

Maybe.

1359196 2013-12-11 20:27:00 Personally As long as they still have the options to have the tiled start, I'll be using that, mainly to pin programs I use, instead of having the desktop cluttered in shortcuts. No big deal to press the windows key, then click.

When they bring back the old start menu, ( which will mean it boots to desktop and looks like W7 )I guess all the people who wanted it back will have to find something else to whinge about :p

But at least on Linux you actually get a choice.

Thtas if you can get it to actually install. ;) The last few versions have been a total flop.

Trying to install Ubuntu has turned into a joke and I've given up - on two different computers, from 3 different downloads, it gets part way through and then stops with some error message about lack of resources WTF how much power does it need. If i3 or i5 with 8 GB RAM, and 500GB Drive is not enough then forget it.

Previous versions ( pre the menu on the left) install fine, both x86 & x64. Tried Mint ultimate the other day a 3+GB download, and gets to setting up locations then hangs. :yuck:

All other OS's install fine from XP - W8.1 as well as Linux Mint and pre menued Ubuntu.

Try the alternate text-mode install or such. Sounds like a bug in the installer or with some driver; of course a system like you describe is far more than enough in terms of power.

It works for me, but it definitely isn't the easiest OS to install.
