Hi I just got finished setting up a new laptop for the mother of a friend of ours. She is 88, years old and hasn't used a computer since some time in the 90s. Naturally it has Windows 8 on it. I tried to look at it as if I was 88 years old and didn't' know anything about modern computers. I...

Hi I've noticed this several times, I get the message when I boot up that says "Windows Updates, sign in and install updates". If I open Metro type updates I get several choices, one is for Windows Updates, when I click that, I get a screen and a message that says no new updates. If I close...

Hi After seeing a reference to it in another post I looked at and installed the trial of "Modern Mix" on my PC. This program is pretty much invisible, that is you probably will forget you have it installed but what it does is change the way things open from the Metro screen. For instance I...

Hey all, I have been having some frustration here and was hoping maybe someone could help me figure this out. Perhaps this is a simple issue but its obnoxious. I love windows 8 its very nice and the intergration of small UI apps combined with the regular windows apps makes it fun to do some...

I installed windows solitaire and classic shell broke the link to the icon on the metro desktop. I can't reinstall the app. Windows store says I have it. Couldn't uninstall the app. No uninstall button. Clicking on the tile just opened the store not the app, so I unpinned it. Any...

In a world exploding with tablets and touchscreens, Microsoft's decision to saddle Windows 8 with the finger-friendly Modern interface formerly known as Metro makes a lot of sense--for Microsoft. Source: Yahoo! News

Well no matter how much I try to trick, tweak, update drivers, use alternative drivers my current system hardware just doesn't like windows 8. So I'm sadly reporting that I've returned to windows 7 until I replace all my hardware, which is not likely to happen any time soon. The really sad...

News has leaked that the big update for Windows 8 next year entitled Windows Blue will not contain any form of Start Button or menu. Reference: Sorry, Windows Blue won't bring back the Start button

I must admit, I was really excited about Windows8. I believed that the giant had awoken and that integration with mobile and tablet platforms had finally arrived. I eagerly updated my Win 7 machine the day it was released. I have now been using it on a regular basis and "can make it work"...

I need some help with my Windows 8 Desktop. Somehow I have changed something and now my desktop windows will not re-size or move. When I initially open a program or browser it opens fine in a small window somewhere on the screen. As soon as i grab the title bar 2 outlined windows appear on...

Well I put windows 8 on my first computer build. Its pretty fast but a learning curve. Going to give it a few months. But I was hoping for a windows media center metro live tile. Like the gadget in windows 7. Also is there a app to show the CPU temp yet? I have searched guess not. Could be nice...

Does anyone know of a good SSH client for metro? Using the modern app look at feel? Would be great to scroll through a bunch of tiled consoles left and right. Currently using cygwin, but want to use Windows 8 style apps.

As the above say's Mozilla is ready for you to try the Metro version of Firefox: Download: Firefox Metro Preview for Windows 8 | Future Releases

I read, all over the web, comments regarding the dislike for the forthcoming Windows 8, and in particular, and in fact almost exclusively, criticism of the (as it was called) Metro. I was urged to print my own thoughts on the subject, and I published an article which I have repeated here, in...
