Breaking News- They're actually bringing the Start button back to Windows in an update lol.Entity wrote:The windows 8 metro homescreen (or whatever it's called) is clunky and awkward, which is perfect for tablets.
The windows 8 desktop is fine and precise, which is perfect for desktop computers.
And then they smash them both together and put them on computers and tablets. >_>
I was at my Uncle's house trying out his Windows 8 computer and it was actually pretty cool until I realized there was no start menu. When I press the start key it takes me to the homescreen.
No. I will never buy Windows 8.

I've been around since 2008. And I'm old. Yay. Pretty sure I notched a fair amount of LOTD/XPs but somehow always like my underrated levels more. Go figure. My best design days are behind me, but I'll try to not be too shabby.

Whats funny is that the start menu button existed in the developer preview.SirWrek wrote:Breaking News- They're actually bringing the Start button back to Windows in an update lol.
Here's an awesome idea for an update as well (It took me a very long time to come up with this idea, and it might be too hard for Microsoft to do) eliminate metro on desktop computers via an update and give back the original start menu. Metro should still exist for those who still want to use it, but it should only be a defaulted feature for tablets. As well, make containers that windows 8 apps can run inside so that a person can maximize their desktop space with these newly structure apps (You can fit as many legacy apps as you want on a screen, why kill the moment for windows 8 apps). Lets call these windows 8 application containers "windows". I'm sure it will be a revolutionary idea.

That is a brilliant idea. But how are we going to notify Microsoft about this notion of yours? MS's Win. 8 servers are gonna incinerate our email about it. xDSebastian Lawe wrote:Whats funny is that the start menu button existed in the developer preview.

Yeah, I could see that. I still use W7 mostly myself. It's right there along with 95 ME as my favorite.ElectroYoshi wrote:If that's where the updating begins and ends, I will probably "downgrade" to w7. What can I say? w8 is very clunky and impossible to use.
