| 1307196 | 2012-10-17 20:10:00 | Makes sense Wainui. trouble is convincing 130 workers (engineers to boot!). I battle with this with every os since Vista superseded (?) XP.Know what you mean :) some dont like change. Theres plenty of people I know who panic when their shortcut to a program is moved on the desktop--- " WHERE is it, it used to be top right second down, now its at the bottom " :eek: The thing wont work now. ;) A couple of places I do work for, -- fun and games changing from XP - W7 took them about a week to get used to it, now its great ;) |

| 1307197 | 2012-10-17 21:56:00 | I read somewhere this morning that if the design of a new operating system was left to the man in the street that we would still be using Windows 3.1 operating system. I can remember a few years back getting a brand new computer with a brand new Windows 3.1 operating system on it. Boy was this innovative. My previous machine run on DOS and I used to love writing batch programmes so that I had something similar to a start menu. I appears that third party Start Menu programmes are available for Windows 8. I have tried th beta version of Stardock's Start8. I liked it. The beta version is free but once Windows 8 is released it will cost $4.99. read here www.pcadvisor.co.uk |

Or, as a bonus, some were front wheel steer and others rear wheel steer. I’m afraid I belong to the “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” thinkers and if someone wants to use my workshop, I expect all the tools to be returned to where they were found. I’m afraid change, for the sake of change, doesn’t impress me. :) |

| 1307203 | 2012-10-18 09:05:00 | Classicshell works with Win8. I think its better than start8. At least its open source. Besides it giving me an inaccessible device error earlier, at least it installed everything for me, inc the wifi adapter. And activated it. But, I don't think I'll keep it ether, if it decides to crash for no reason at all |
