My Computer Bit It

[MakersDozn]

We've tweaked the Win8 on our new desktop (see the New PC thread) a bit, but probably not as much as you/Lea have the ability to do. We hate the fact that MS seems to think that everyone wants a mobile interface, which isn't true.

People on their message boards say, "Why can't I change/eliminate the Start screen?" "Why is the clock not always visible when I browse in the new UI mode?" MS Moron answers, "It was designed that way." One disgusted user called Win8 a "Fisher-Price OS."

Well, at least it's not as bad as Vista. The MS people were probably counting on users to be grateful for that and not complain about Win8. But there have been enough complaints for them to come out with Win8.1, which brings back the Start button, among other things. Knock on wood.

Just realized that we can't see the text formatting icons here in Firefox (latest version). We're gonna have to save this post as a draft and open up IE10 to post it. Maybe you/Lea can check out the FF issue when you have a chance.
