| 1381451 | 2014-08-11 05:54:00 | www.pcworld.com Could they not have done this from day 1 ?? Was it really so awefull to give us a start menu . And yet they still wont conceed & make the start menu it as we want it. Thank God that charms thingy is going going gone Looks like there is going to be the ability to "lock in" the normal Desktop mode, say in business environments |

| 1381453 | 2014-08-11 06:11:00 | Having tiles like the pictures on a start menu will be a HUGE PITA !! Lots of people don't actually use the old start menu in day to day use apart from shutting down ( big deal). The start menu as it is on W8 /8.1 works fine. Its the old story, people who don't know how to use something as its designed always say its bad. As it stands at the moment, there's nothing that cant be done when compared to the old versions ( Pre 8) Oh wait -- people don't know there's a right click on their mouse :p |

I usually right click the task bar & add a Desk Top tool bar. This way I can keep the desk top icons hidden and only have to make a single click to select an item. I also use the search facility which takes you straight to the required program. This together with Icons on the task bar for favorites makes the Start Menu unnecessary. |

| 1381458 | 2014-08-11 09:56:00 | I think that Windows 8 is UGLY and cumbersome, those who like it have a case of 'The Emperors Clothes" . Apart from starting up faster I found nothing to endear it to me. I look forward to Windows 9. Even some of Microsoft's employees don't like Windows 8 and compare it to Vista (which I prefer to Windows 8). Anyway each to their own. (their allowed to be wrong :-) bgr.com techpinions.com |
