In Windows Vista's Photo Viewer(?) I could add meta text (subtitles) to photos. But not in Windows 8.1. In Finnish the program is called 'Windowsin valokuvien katselu' ('Windows Photo Viewer'). I find such development truly sad. And I only hope that I haven't yet managed to find the correct...

In Windows 7 there was a function that would allow me to "fill in" order forms with name, address, phone, Credit number and such. Is there a way to do this with Windows 8?

I'm running the evaluation copy of Windows 7 Ultimate version 7000. I've received, as have some of you folks, an invitation to prepurchase the new Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate OS as an upgrade that will be available in October. My question is this; Will the new systems...
