[quote who="ARESIV" reply="204" id="3318135"]First of all, I dislike your arrogance. Who are you?!?,[/quote] and Kona made his point without personal attacks. His points (in that reply ) ring truer than the crystal ball that you gleaned your info from I suspect.
[quote who="the_Monk" reply="169" id="3317342"]Actually I've been using Server 2012 for some time now. I find it very lean/quick and since I do most things using the powershell and/or command prompt anyway the 'new interface' doesn't bother me at all. [/quote] Yeah, it's just another interface to adjust to. I did notice that after running windows updates that the reboot was almost instant though. I'll be digging in to it more in the near future
If you guys think windows 8 is difficult you've seen NOTHING. For those of you that do server work, wait until you have a go at Server 2012. It will make your teeth itch.
[quote who="kona0197" reply="165" id="3317225"]I wonder what it would take to get Jafo or WOM to make Windows 8 thier primary OS. [/quote] Probably this... LOL
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="135" id="3316764"]But it really bugs me when I see people suggest that those who don't like Windows 8 are just afraid of change or haven't given it a try. [/quote] With a minor few exceptions, you being one of them, most of the people bitching here do fall in to the category of "afraid" or "not tried it properly". (as was stated in #136) Oh, on a side note. You can pin a folder to the start screen. The traditiona
[quote who="kona0197" reply="107" id="3316328"]I said the same thing a few months ago and got yelled at. Wonder why no one is yelling at him. Interesting.[/quote] Well, I would guess it's because we all know that Brad has given it a good workout for more than a few moments and is basing his opinions on actual experience instead of heresay.
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="113" id="3316373"]I don't get the idea that it's somehow easier to sift through the start screen rather than go through all programs in the event that the thing you want isn't in the most commonly run programs (which, incidentally, the new Start Screen has no equivalent to).[/quote] (My points are from a Desktop PC running Win8 Pro. I know nothing of RT at this point...) I don't see it that way at all. F
It's obvious from the title of the thread that this is nothing but troll bait. Astonished at some of the people that bit. Everything that needed to be said on Win8 was beat to death on another thread that lasted quite some time. This one is just re-hash.
Here's a link to a MS Fixit that may or may not help. Hope it does. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060

Actually, at work I have a laptop with a touch screen. It comes in quite handy especially since you can flip the screen around and use the device as a tablet. It isn't annoying at all and once again this is a thread that falls under the category of "if you haven't tried it, honestly tried it for a VALID period of time, then your statements that dictate "how it would be"... are absolutely pointless and not even worth the space that you typed them in. But of course... mi

Won't be the same at all. This is strictly a guess at this point because I've not read about it yet. I'm thinking the swipe motions are going to be difficult since you aren't touching where you are looking, which is the point of a to

As for other suggestions. The ability to skin the tiles without the need for OblyTile or some other third party alternative. I'd also like to see the tiles be able to be skinned without them showing as a "Tile". In other words, just a large png with no background. More of an Icon look instead of a square block. The trigger area can still be the square area but a transparent background for the tile would be excellent. Live tiles, I can live with the square as

I believe there is a setting in Decor8 which controls that behavior Roloccolor. I will check it when I get home tonight.

Well, here is what I do... I have the same image set for both my desktop and metro screens. On my metro screen I have Decor8 set to blur the image. This way it feels like a smooth transition and flows nicely. Here are my shots: (of course, these are scaled down... alot...) Normal Desktop Modern

[quote who="moshi" reply="420" id="3304353"]may i ask what you actually do in Metro? [/quote] "Metro" or "Modern UI" whatever you wan't to call it is the exact same thing as if you "pinned" an item to your Windows 7 start menu. You are free to unpin and pin as you wish. If you want "All Programs" you just right click on the metro screen and you have that option. It isn't rocket science at all and navigating it is faster than the traditional start menu. I

I never did figure out what DOS stood for or whether 3.1 came first or Workgroup. *vague memories of 512mb and 500 mHz and a one gig Tower sold at Radio Shack for 600.00 USD*[/quote] D.isk O.perating S.ystem I believe. I think 3.1 came before Workgroups (3.11) and at one time 1 MB of RAM was waaaaay more than any of us would ever need in our lifetime.
[quote who="kona0197" reply="357" id="3303380"]And I will continue to spread the word to all I know that Windows 8 and Windows 8 devices are crap.[/quote] Yep.. you do that... based on word of mouth instead of legit hands on experience. No big shocker there at all. How much more smoke do you really think you can try to blow up the ass of people here?
Shit Jafo, I didn't mean to open worm cans! I was just trying to lighten the mood. Never meant for anyone to actually pursue it!
Since the government is promoting smaller and more fuel efficient autos they are finding that miraculously, tax revenue from gasoline sales are declining. ( well duhhhhhh ). It isn't too far off that we will be taxed by the distance we drive to compensate for this loss. ( don't for 1 second think that they will give up their fuel tax either ). I see this as just a stepping stone to get to that point while disguising it as something else. No.. I don't want anything monitori
