| 1311037 | 2012-11-08 04:51:00 | If you think of the Start screen as a full-screen Start menu, there's no major difference. Pretty much. I've told people that, and there's a bit of a performance boost (It's certainly faster starting up and things) and it also seems a little lighter on the resources. Gaming performance for me has been marginally better too. So far everybody I've shown it to has initially said "Wow WTF looks so bad :@" but after a couple of minutes they settle down and realize it's actually pretty similar. A few nice things like the overhauled Task Manager is a welcome change, as well as the copy / paste options and transfer dialog box. For $20 to upgrade for some, and $50 for the rest, I'm suggesting if they can, they do. |

| 1311038 | 2012-11-08 05:24:00 | Its interesting finding all the "little changes" under the bonnet so to speak :) Windows 8 starts faster due to a new feature - Its called Fast startup. From the help section Fast startup is a setting that helps your PC start up faster after shutdown. Windows does this by saving system info to a file upon shutdown. When you start your PC again, Windows uses that system info to resume your PC instead of restarting it. Notes • The fast startup setting doesn’t apply to Restart. You need to shut down and then start your PC again for fast startup to take effect. • Fast startup is turned on by default in Windows Its under the power Options. |

| 1311039 | 2012-11-08 05:36:00 | Tried looking at services / apps that start up on boot as well, via the Task Manager? It's nifty :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1311040 | 2012-11-08 05:42:00 | So it would seem in spite of Plods negativity re touching screen , they are indeed making screen for the job. One might ask, what about touching tablet screen. |

| 1311041 | 2012-11-08 05:59:00 | A touchscreen for desktop use is just idiotic, as pointed out your arms will fall off, not to mention you will rub grease all over the screen.i would suggest using a trackpad for a desktop computer | plod (107) | ||
| 1311042 | 2012-11-08 06:17:00 | I doubt I would have much use for a touch screen on a desktop my arms are too short :eek: | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1311043 | 2012-11-08 06:57:00 | I thought about a small touchscreen, sitting on the desk in a convenient place, with the same resolution as the main screen, with the two cloned... | pcuser42 (130) | ||
