    Windows 8 Why do people hate the new start screen?

    The majority of my day to day work is stored in a variety of file types which are in folders according to product. When I need to work on a specific product, I use the shortcut on my desktop that takes me to the main products folder. Because that folder is set to open in the same place and size...

    Windows 8 Microsoft sells 100m Windows 8 licences

    If you were selling a product that was sending your core user base to the competition, wouldn't you look for something to say other than how many millions you had sold? Steve Ballmer must be a very smart man to have held on to his position for so long while displaying such gross incompetence...

    Windows 8 Windows 8.1 reportedly updates apps silently

    Luckily for me, since my Windows8 machine is nearly useless as a production device, it won't be a major tragedy when an automatic update to some driver causes a major system malfunction. I'll still be getting work done with my Win7 machines. I'll just be less frustrated from spending hours...

    Windows 7 Win7 not quite evil

    Thanks, Mike. I'm going to download that utility and give it a try. MS is certainly giving a boost lately to third party developers. With a good window manager for Win7 and a start menu and boot to desktop utility for Win8, I could rule the world. Lack of programming ability is all that...

    Windows 7 Win7 not quite evil

    Folks, I've joined this forum for a couple reasons. Foremost is that I don't believe that Microsoft is interested in anything I have to say. Secondly, I'm using Windows 7 at my office and on my main personal computer and, after getting a new laptop with Windows 8, I realize that I have to...
