The APPs which is what I think you're talking about... I'd like to disable completely. Pointless! This is a computer damn it not some stinking smart phone or cheesy tablet!

Honestly about 99% of the time I see no difference between Win 8 and Win 7. The things that are different aren't different bad.

I forgot to mention Win 8.1 is supposed to be coming out soon to...

Well nothing has changed on my laptop running Windows 8. I use it M-F at work and drop it into the docking station on the weekends.

I have it doing all the same stuff it was doing before, same...

I'll see you BeOS and raise you a CP/M :D

Apparently they have been around for awhile since some...

I'm fine with Windows 8. Like I said the desktop isn't any different that what Windows people use now, it's just missing the Start button, and there are already 3rd party apps that add the start...

Well I guess what I'm saying that from Win 98(se) to Win ME there wasn't much difference, except the balance in your checking account went down a little. :D

Right now I'd say it's like Windows 7...

After 20 minutes I was right there with you on that opinion. A little more playing around and now I see what they are doing. Someone said Windows ME and I think they may be right.
