Re: The metro interface will impact other products at Microsoft

I'm waiting for the beta before I completely pass judgement on Metro. Hopefully the beta will run well on virtual machines.

But from what I've seen so far I'm not very impressed by metro and I hope that it can be switched off so you can use the same interface Windows 7 has.

How much you wanna bet Microsoft uses it as a marketing ad tool for products kids want? Toys, elecronic, etc., and M$ earns ad money.

Re: Is the Apple “Magic Trackpad” a poor excuse for the lack of multi-touch on the Mac

Antonio — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:15:27 -0000

Hi all.
I have had a MacBook Pro for 3 years now and I love the TrackPad on it. So much so that I bought an Apple Magic TrackPad for my kids' MacMini, and they also love it and have never ever used the mouse ever since I installed the Magic TrackPad. In fact, I will buy one Magic TrackPad for my new Windows 7 desktop which should arrive in a few days. Even if the range of multi-touch gestures will be limeted compared to Mac OS X, just the 2-finger up and down scrolling, the 2-finger left and right (back and forward) web browsing, plus the clickable entire pad plus the 2-finger click for a right click is worth the xpense.

Re: How to use Windows 7 System Restore

Chargerrtse822 — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 20:02:41 -0000

How did you ever get your computer to a restore point. It's been stuck on window that says "restore system fie & setting" then there are blue letters that say " system protection" I click that but will not open. Every thing stays stuck. The darn thing has been stuck for 12 hours now. How does a person get this computer to cooperate right ?

Re: Why Windows 8 Tablets Will Have The Edge Over Android Tablets

RazorBlade — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 19:07:41 -0000

I think that especially businesses will start to use Windows
8 tablets. It integrates perfectly with their current infrastructure. It can be
controlled by IT, x86 applications can probably be streamed to ARM tablets without
the need for Xenapp or View, Office works natively and does not require reverse
engineered software. Add to that bitlocker on a phone and you can implement a
much better security than you would be able to do with Android out of the box.

Re: Start Menu Orb Hidden In Latest Windows 8 Builds

David Gilbertson — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:33:30 -0000

This blog has some great info, but it always seems to have a negative tone. Gets me down.
I use Windows 8 as my primary machine now and I'm in love. And quite amazed how stable it is for a pre-beta.Anyhoo, I don't think of the start menu as being gone, it's now just full-screen. And it's still how I see my seldom-used apps and control panel.I do wonder, however, what will happen when I RDP to a Windows 8 box if I can't see the start button.
Also, it erked me at first that I couldn't make the desktop the default. But now I've adjusted, I start windows, click on the app I want (or just to start to type the app name if it's not a tile) and it's up. Fast. @MHazell - if you want zero changes from Windows 7 then I highly recommend Windows 7 as the operating system for you.

Re: The Coolest Windows 8 Watch Concept

Stuart Bennett — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 14:44:28 -0000

okay a touch screen watch with full colour led display would be great and being able to play music on it would also be great, however you could never reasonably use a device with such a small screen to reasonably do much beyond that, a 3 inch screen is about what ipod nanos give you anyway so music no poblem and its screen is bigger than most normal watches are now but its not usable for internet or phone or anything else though. if it did get made though what kind of storage would it have?

MHazell — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 11:58:58 -0000

Hmm, my other comment get removed. Don't know why. All I said was that I was not going to get Windows 8 if they do now have an opion to have the desktop mode the default mode and to have the theme to be exactly like Window 7's theme, without any changes.

Re: Did Windows XP Usage Rise in January 2012?

Patrick Weisser — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 06:56:38 -0000

If I were the copyright holder of a product in such high demand by

corporations and consumers alike, I would certainly find a way to make it

secure, supportable, and profitable without changing the essence of what it is

that makes it so beloved by so many. There's certainly room for more than just

one type of user experience in the vast install base of Windows. And after

all, happy customers are loyal customers. Microsoft risks marginalizing the

Windows brand by forcing upon the world a single vision of how people should

interact with Windows-based computing devices.
