TDB,
This epic saga w/ tanzanos has raged for a long time. I, for one, gave up on it a while ago. We have responded to all of it in detail several times in several ways. All the technologies, methodologies, Features, all the new things, enhancements & improvements, the items specifically geared towards business environments... all of it. We have articulated ways that go straight to Desktop w/ the greatest of ease & speed; we have offered ways to totally avoid using the Start screen & Tiles, if one wants to do that; we have listed all the overt & all the under-the-covers; we have addressed comparisons to prior Windows; we have explained reasons for changes in the computing landscape, exemplified by Windows 8; we have stated that it IS & can be easy fun & productive to use. No matter any of our efforts does anything help & nothing changes... just keeps coming back @ everything or
after everything w/ "not intuitive", more about start & UI and recently something about Search in both 7 and 8... the latter remains a complete mystery.
Anyway, have fun, all the more power to you, knock yourself out. You have our empathy & sympathy, we're routing for you, kudos for trying, mind you don't get too frustrated trying, though.
IF, you take no console from those 'in the know', don't try (w/out a chip on your shoulder) to learn & discover something for yourself then, yeah, maybe it'll never feel intuitive.
For some, like myself, we come to feel so 'at home' w/ Windows 8 could likely run all over the place in it w/ our eyes shut.
Anyway, can't help but, have a head & brick wall image come to mind. I can't feel like I'm being rash, mean, hash, not allowing for opinions or anything of the sort because, myself, I, already, put heaps of time, thought, caring & effort into this one; so have others.
It's not only been repetitious, but, has become monotonous and exhausting. We can't be condemned because we have really tried. Tag, you're it, now, I guess. Best of luck, mate.
Cheers,
Drew
