arfur mo Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Not yet a fan, might be if i had a touch screen computer. I think MS are releasing a massive update soon, due to user complaints about the tiles. if so, where will that leave several W8 smarphones? If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!

Rulland Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I use 'Classic Shell', does loads more than just giving the start menu back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lwillis Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 +1 for classic shell . 8.1 will be a free upgrade for all windows 8 users. Hopefully it will give us back a native start button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cubit Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I use 'Classic Shell', does loads more than just giving the start menu back. Yes, but I jugs wanted the simplicity and a start button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzies Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I use win8 without a touch screen and without a start button mod, and actually prefer it to win7. Boot speed is amazing, and all the old start button stuff is just a mouse swipe on the rhs away, plus you can set your own tiles for even faster access to apps It also sandboxes every single app, which was the reason i chose it over win7 CompatAbility wise no issues, except with a 32 bit but of software i have that has a 16bit loader. Had to run win xp in a virtualbox to get that going, and as win8, unlike win7, doesnt have an xp license included, i will soon need to get a key for xp Overall far superior to 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
