    I have to admit, I am now a fan of Windows 8... because the Windows 8 debacle (as well as the $1 billion Suface FUBAR) became the straw that broke the camel's back and (FINALLY!!!) got rid of Steve Ballmer.

    Ding, dong... the fat man is gone!!!

    After installing 8.1 the world is a much better place.

    Boots to desktop, and the only time I need to switch to metro-side(to play solitaire) my desktop wallpaper is there too.
    It's amazing how little needs to change for make me happy.

    Help!

    Why can I launch IE or Chrome from the desktop but none of my apps are connected to the internet on the start screen?

    I guess this explains why HP has decided to start offering computers with Windows 7 again.

    Re: Windows 8

    After almost a decade on XP, I went to Linux (as my preferred desk/laptop OS)
    But ironically I went and bought a Windows 8 Phone.. Nice phone/os and all (not that I use it to its full capabilities) but its pissed me off no end that it is NOT easy/even possible to copy stuff from my Fedora m/c to my phone! - I need to boot my laptop in the Win 7 that I had the foresight to install so I don't get screwed up by some Windows specific stuff (MS Office etc - but I have found LibreOffice to be adequate for my purposes)
