In Pictures: The Windows 8.1 Preview

[milktea]

Boot to desktop +1
Choosing Start screen to All Apps +1
Making tiles smaller +1
I cannot wait to try out the new Windows 8.1

as for the new UI file manager, unless it has dual panels, I think I'll skip that

Sorry, for me Windows 8 is just plain wrong for desktop use on too many levels. They tried to force a 'one size fits all' approach to a place it doesn't belong for serious work (i.m.h.o.).

Add in the attempt to lock you in to the 'walled garden" approach to program purchase, the aesthetically challenged graphics style, the attempt to eventually remove the desktop, they all rub me the wrong way. I could go on and on.

Windows 8.1 still doesn't have a real start menu so I still can't avoid the 'metro' interface if I want to (without going through hoops or finding a 3rd party program).

I've tried Windows 8, and hated it with a passion because it was counter-productive for me. Without a a real start-menu, 8.1 doesn't go far enough to fix that.

Wow.. such rage.. calm down.. you will have a heart attack!!
My Win 8 seems to remember wifi just fine.. if you click the "automatically connect" (or similar wording.. going from memory) when you set up.. it will remember and connect next time that Wifi is the best one avail.

HTH

Hey,

I found this website very helpful:
http://www.microsoftlivesupport.com

You need not sit and search for the fixes. Most of the issues are resolved for free and they don't push you for sales unless a maintenance is required.

You can chat with them by clicking on the chat button and they resolve the issues in minutes by taking your computer remotely.

They are my local technicians as they charge you very less than other local technicians and remote support services.
