I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 3 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless....
In reply to: Good info For Everyone
Whether or not you like Windows 8x or even Microsoft, this newest update, with its obvious shift back in the direction of non-touch, demonstrates that they are listening to customer feedback. From some of the comments, it...
In reply to: Re: Does Microsoft have a clue?
I'd say this is a very logical and fair assessment of this update. 8.1 Update is clearly better for keyboard and mouse users accustomed to the nearly 20 year old UI introduced in Windows 95. And while not the most elegant...
In reply to: Re: Does Microsoft have a clue?
The majority of the changes that have been introduced since 8.0 RTM have been additive mostly in the form of new configuration options or naturally occurring behavioral changes based on the input type. In fact most of the...
In reply to: Re: Does Microsoft have a clue?
It is getting better, but nothing in the Win8.1Update makes me want to give up Win7 on the desktop. Still too much of a learning curve for the existing Win7 customer base and I'm sure most corporations feel...
In reply to: Re: Does Microsoft have a clue?
I'm not questioning that W8.1 Update is a big improvement. My comment addressed the volatility of the UI. Microsoft seems to think that the W8 user base has nothing better to do than keep relearning how to use...
In reply to: Re: Does Microsoft have a clue?
I stand by the assertion that Windows 8.1 Update is the best version of Windows 8-- but I admit, I toyed with a paragraph along these lines: "Windows 8.1 Update offers the best blend yet of Windows Store and legacy apps,...
In reply to: Re: Does Microsoft have a clue?
Seriously? How many iterations is it going to take for Microsoft to stabilize Windows 8? Somebody at Microsoft must think it's a good idea to keep changing the UI for the whole W8 user base, as if users have nothing better...

Using words like "holdouts' and "excuses" indicates that you are on the Microsh*t payroll. We don't need to buy junk like Win8 when XP works just fine. Personally I have XP machines and Win7 machines. I might upgrade XP...
In reply to: We don't want no stink'in upgrade
I have a better tip: Don't buy it until Windows 9 comes out. Windows 8 is a flop.

"If MS could work on this device they could conceiably get a windows machine in the front of every classroom, boardroom and office in the US." That might be true. Apple TV has become more popular among schools and libraries...
In reply to: Re: About the XBoxOne
I think you're probably right that Microsoft expected much higher Win 8 adoption, and much less backlash from users. As for leaving users in the cold... It was Sinofsky's teams that made the most radical decisions and produced...
In reply to: Re: start screen
Microsoft is so committeed to the desktop it left desktop users completely out in the cold with Win8? Microsoft knows a billion people use the desktop every day to get things done yet screwed them royal with Win8. ...
In reply to: Re: start screen
Hmm, while I see where you're coming from, I don't think Microsoft will ditch the desktop in Windows 9. Most if not all of its application efforts might involve Modern/Win RT apps, but as Windows 8.1 Update shows (and as...
In reply to: Re: start screen
I wrote the original post in this thread. I actually like the Windows Start Screen in Windows 8.1 and would like to be able to boot my laptop directly to it without first going to the desktop. Some sources indicate that...
In reply to: Booting to Windows Start Screen following latest updates to Windows 8.1
Choice is important. Whether it's some flavor of Linux, Mac, Chromebook, Windows 7 or Windows 8x, there are options that each have benefits and draw backs. Unless someone has a specific business need for a specific OS, there's...
In reply to: Re: There is an alternative: linux
Good points on the key messages, Michael. I agree that 4/8/14 is not the end of computing as we know it. However, there does need to be an awareness that if something happens after 4/8/14, Microsoft isn't going to release...
In reply to: Re: Reminds me of Y2K
My friend was very happy with Windows/XP. He also has a perfectly good computer, thank you very much, and didn't want to spend a lot of money getting a new machine. So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it, with...

I can understand the reluctance for banks or ATM manufacturers to disclose what version of OS their ATM runs but I think when we're talking about personal data security someone needs to get out in front of this issue and...
