Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Just installed it, rebooted several times etc and now it's up and running. Other than the start button and what it does I don't really see any difference. IE11 looks just like 10. I'm guessing most of it is under the hood but visually I see little difference.

Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
Ah ok. I don't use the apps anyway - iTunes does everything I need for music - so I won't see those changes.
