Re: Windows 8 is Horseshit.
They won't listen, no matter what you do or say. It's all about profits, and it is cheaper to setup an overseas call center with people who use English words but don't speak the language to read a script that they don't understand. They ask you a question and if you don't give one of their possible answers they just ask it again.

Re: Windows 8 is Horseshit.
Reminds me of the movie Castaway and Wilson the ball, given the options he made a good friend. I suppose Windows 8 has that sort of potential too, if one were lost on a desert island and for some reason needed a computer and that was all that was available. Thank dog there are other options and reasonable rescue shells.

In the case of Win 8, the opening screen is the start screen, much like on a tablet. If you hit the start button on a regular MS OS, and it gave you a screen instead of a pop up, the start screen is what it would give you. One of the Apps is the desktop. I suspect that app doesn't come on tablets. One can remove all the apps from the start screen except the ones that are used, any programs you install will show up as an icon on the start screen. It's easy enough, but for me, they could have left that screen off on the computer versions of the OS. The UI/windows manager/shell is just another program on top of the OS. Microsoft is trying to make a UI that will work on both tablets and desktops. What it will get is something that doesn't work well on either. My guess is it will work very well on tablets. It wasn't that much off my Android for usability, and for people who carry a tablet and have a laptop at home, I expect the familiarity that Win8 brings from the tablet to the PC will make it easier for tablet users. My wife and I both prefer working from the desktop though, and with that in mind Classic Shell does the trick. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Windows 8 is Horseshit.
Speaking of Horseshit, I have another nomination. I'm staying in a Hilton hotel tonight. As an HH Honors member they seemed to offer free internet. (Most every motel on the interstate highway offers free internet.) On closer inspection, not really free at Hilton. No problem says I, the alternative is free to ATT customers. So I try that option, not quite. We need your ATT address and password. That I don't really remember, but with a cell phone call they help me with my address. Can't do anything about the password though. Have to call this other number for that. So I call. While a black man with poor English was helpful on the first call, the oriental woman on the second call was unbelievable! First, she has an unintelliginle accent - very poor Engllish language pronounciation. Second, she's talking so fast, I can't make out what she is saying. (And I've got a pretty good ear for it after my share of 3 hour conf calls to China.) Third, everything she says is clipped. It is being dropped by the cellphone connection. And fourth and most infuriating, she isn't listening! I say something and she launches into a 25 second sing-song monologue. I talk over her, but she just continues to speak.. I tell her to listen, but she doesn't. I tell her she is not conversing with me. I tell her I can't understand what she is saying. I tell her she has poor language skills. She continues to ask me about irrelevant questions. I finally give up and just start guessing at my password. I make a good guess and get signed on, after 30 minutes of horseshit. ATT blows dead bears. Now how do I get ATT to hear this? Regards, Bob S.

Re: Windows 8 is Horseshit.
Bill, It really isn't as bad as all that. Especially on a laptop. Slide your finger onto the touchpad from the right to pull up charms, do the same from the left side to go to the last app, and down from the top to bring up the menu for the program. Far easier than the hot corners. Windows key and D gets the desktop, Windows key and X brings up a useful menu. It is just a matter of it being different. I have to sell the stuff, so I am becoming used to it and it really isn't that bad.
