[citation][nom]JOSHSKORN[/nom]First of all, I disagreed with Microsoft making a seemingly "Touch Screen UI" for the desktop, or laptop for that matter. Most of us don't have a touch screen. Secondly, I don't understand why Microsoft did not include an option to turn on or turn off the start screen and/or the start menu.I was thinking about diving into Windows 8. Now that I see that adding back some Windows 7 features could be in its future, Microsoft just might get my money. Until then, I'm staying with Windows 7.[/citation]it was there in the developer edition, some turd upper level decide to take it off and force Metro UI which cost Microsoft millions of sales. win8 should have both type of UI to suport a transition period.
btw, the tiles is great in some way, When u use start menu, u eyes are looking at start menu, So why not do a full screen while u are using it?
This guy down here(at page2) pretty much speak everything win8 does, if u look in a diff way. Even tomshardware did mention about it, spend ur time pin ur app to start screen.
[citation][nom]universal remonster[/nom]So is it the size of the start screen that bothers you? The start menu is essentially just another screen but smaller. How is opening the start menu and start screen any different? Same steps involved.Ok, so can you please explain how Start Menu -- > All Programs -- > Adobe -- > Photoshop is faster than Start Screen -- > Photoshop Tile. Or, are you referring to the few programs you have pinned to Start menu, in which case is exactly the same thing as pinned to start screen? Web and email are usually pinned on your task bar in Win XP, Win 7, right? Sooo... Pin them to your Win 8 taskbar? Word and Excel? Start Screen -- > Word. Start Screen -- > Excel. That's pretty easy. No different than Start Menu -- > Word. Start Menu -- > Excel.Though I own Windows 8 because it was available for $14.99 for buying a Win 7 laptop, I still haven't installed it. What I don't understand is the rage and hostility from people over Windows 8. People act as though they do not have free will.Seriously. If Win 8 doesn't fit your use model, don't use it. If you don't like the new interface, don't use it. Not I nor anyone else is going to come to your home and violate you because you didn't upgrade, or even care in the first place. And besides, if Windows 7 is the greatest thing Microsoft has made and it's so perfect, why are trying to upgrade from it?[/citation]
