*users that they would eventually learn to like the new OS* OMG. Compare that quote to iOS where people just loved it at the first sight.

Re: Windows 8 and the Start Button
We were just discussing that in the office today. I feel the same... Enterprise usually lags behind by at least one whole release cycle, sometimes two. They have been trying to kill support for XP for years and I bet there are still many using it. They need to target their new OS's at kids when they are young. Hang around in school yards and offer them candy. What could go wrong? (What?! Dilbert did it. Why can't I?)

RE: Windows 8 and the Start Button
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen today called Windows 8 "puzzling" and "confusing initially," but assured users that they would eventually learn to like the new OS. http://www.arnnet.com.au/article/438005/microsoft_co-founder_calls_windows_8 _puzzling_confusing_ _ Ian Thomas Victoria Park, Western Australia

>That is quite hilarious. Buy a plugin so you can make Windows work like Windows :) Well, don't laugh too hard, because one of the first things that crossed my mind when I fired-up Windows 8 was "Windows doesn't have any windows anymore" (until I found the old style desktop) -- Greg

Windows 8 and the Start Button
Stardock has (in beta) an application that lets you put a windows 7 type start button back into Windows 8. http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/ The best thing I think is the ability to start in desktop mode. -- regards, Preet, Overlooking the Ocean, Auckland
