Windows 8.1 Updates Coming for Mouse Users
-
What would be nice for the professional edition would be to have a core option for power users just like the option you get with 2012 server. Load just what you want.......wait.......hasn't Linux been doing this for a LONG TIME?
-
BTY you can install it now..... Even tho it isn't released.....
I have it running on all my PC's

@scottalanmiller Good to see that there is some effort to make it "better". Even though I've been using it for quite some time, I still don't like it all that much.
Windows 8 is a little like being forced to wear the uncomfortable pants simply because you have no other clean ones available. -

Looks like MS has already released the code, but they keep pulling it from the update servers.

They only released it for dogfooding.

I used to think people were just whiners about the fact that the wallpaper didn't follow from the desktop to the start screen, but I definitely notice the 'jarring nature' of it now that I'm using Windows 8.x daily. Does it bother me enough to complain, not really.
But the default apps that MS wants you to use, COME ON! I'm on the desktop why in the world would I want to use a full screen PDF viewer or picture viewing app? especially if the system has a desktop version installed (hint hint Windows photo viewer).
LOL...I just saw a client this week who needed a "tune up" on her W8.1 PC. I got there and she said look, and clicked on a video. The video W8 app page loaded and the spinning wheel started. After 30 seconds, I closed the window. I right clicked on the video icon and clicked open with Windows Media Player...and BAM the video started playing immediately!
The customer was like wow, the other way took 2-3 minutes to start and then would pause and like fast forward and was weird acting. I told her that I made sure all her videos would now open in WMP.
Except for the FB app (sort of) I don't know of any W8 App that does anything for me.

I literally use absolutely no Windows 8 apps. I hate them so much. So jarring and weird and none of them work well. Just a bad idea. I've tried several and not a one of them has had any value that I could ascertain.

I have yet to use any either - I haven't bothered to look through the store either.

There is no way to find anything. The store is completely worthless. If you don't already know about what you want and its exact name you are completely SOL.
