epic Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Ok, so Microsoft finally got their head out of their asses and woke up, half way. It seems that Microsoft is finally introducing the classic Start Menu back into Winodows, which is a huge plus for Windows 8.1, AND providing the consumer the ability to run modern apps in a WINDOWED setting. However... Microsoft is failing to provide information about what the "ALL APPS" (ie: Programs, All Programs) link directs the consumers of Winodws 8.1 to. Does the "all apps" link push the consumer back to the poorly coded, annoying, and hated "modern start menu" and fill up the entire display, or does it tile and list all apps, WITHIN the Start Menu, as in previous versions of Windows?I guess we'll see what the "all apps" link is all about, unless others have more information about this update.

vinifera Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) they always seem to invent crapthen revert back to original which was good what does that tell about company that spends millions $$$ for user experience program (give me that money, I'll spend it wisely ) Edited April 5, 2014 by vinifera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpclient Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) IMHO, everything they did with Windows 8 is ALL CRAP except its ability to boot fast and increased security. When they try to "improve" anything, they end making a million mistakes which end up in loss of features. Edited April 5, 2014 by xpclient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinifera Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I fail to see how 8 is more secure when it leaks personal data more than any other win os before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flasche Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 This is very good for now I will finally be able to search effortlessly on my dad's computer. The only downside is that windows 8 is still crap and less stable than 7 or vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryTri Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I don't agree that Windows 8 is crap, they have their problems but we shouldn't be so negative, if it is really crap then why do we use it? Anyway the lack of Start Menu is indeed the most serious of its problems - of course there are some solutions for it available (I personally use Start Menu X by OrdinarySoft) - and it is good that Microsoft eventually heard the opinion of their customers on this issue.

Now I know that could be a driver issue, butA.) I trust my dad with having proper and up to date drivers for he is very tech shabby .B.) Never had the issue with windows 7 or vista when 7/vista was on that pc.C.) I'm not messing with my dads work computer's setup.
