they probably be compatible on final version Russ glad your liking it

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

And NIS 13 installs (and works) just fine :)

Interestingly the standalone password toolbar doesn't work but the one included with NIS is fine. Odd but there you go.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Well yes it does but I just googled Windows 8 App List and used the most appropriate image. Can't be showing how much I've wasted on Windows 8 Xbox enabled games.

Does startisback work Russ as that's my savoir when it comes to windows 8. Without that i would be well and truly buggered and would have to revert to using pirated copys of windows 7 as microcrap refuse to return my windows 7 legit key to active.

I have many times if your on about microsoft

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

start8 has updates or 8.1

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

start8 has the updates which should keep people like sirus happy

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

I did try 8.1 on my laptop but it broke it - just as well I had an image ;)

I will wait 'till it get's a proper release.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

I have now returned to this country from malta and i have installed the 8.1 beta. My first impression is that when those of us asked for a start menu we did not quite ask the right question so Microsoft decided to do as we asked.

This means we were given a half way house that works but is not really what we asked for. I will try it over the next few days and see if it works. If not its back to a copy of Windows 8 with startisback and the updates turned off so i dont get 8.1 forced on me.

BTW on a separate subject has any noticed that no matter what you do you cannot stop the Bing desktop update showing up in updates EVEN if you tell it not to show again. Bing desktop is a major piece of crap and Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves for making it.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

you can boot straight to desktop which I sure you be happy about and can make it show your programs instead of start screen if you wish too when you click start button which should be better for you sirus as I know you hate the start screen plus can turn of the hot corners too if you chose so 8.1 gives you lot more choice

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

I am slowly going through the options at the moment. :)

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

to get to desktop boot options right click on taskbar on desktop then click properties then navigation menu for options you want Sirus mate

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
 

Very very initial observations are that they have improved the interface and it lends itself better to those of us that prefer the original layout than the mobile phone interface they forced on us. Time will tell if i use it or revert.
