    Windows 8 Do most Apps push Advertising?

    I have no smart phone, so not familiar with how the Apps you can download for free work. In my case, the app was on a Kindle Fire. But after a couple of weeks, I started seeing advertising on the screen. Is this fairly normal for the free apps? Do paid apps not behave this way?

    Windows 7 Win7 + Excel 2003 - Loss of focus on initial save

    After the first launch of an Excel document, if I perform a File/Save, the active Excel window drops behind another opened app window. Will not behave this way on subsequent saves, only the initial. Strange. Any ideas? This is new behavior since the upgrade from XP.
