Windows 8.1 RTM Trickling Out, With Start Menu and Boot-to-Desktop
poofmeisterp writes "It's about time. Windows 8.1 will be released to end users in October, and RTM is being released now: 'Windows 8.1, codenamed "Blue," is introducing a number of changes designed to make the new operating system more palatable to current Windows users. Windows 8.1 is adding a Start Button, a boot-straight-to-desktop option; the ability to unpin all Metro apps; built-in tutorials; an improved Windows Store and a host of other consumer- and business-focused features. Microsoft launched its one and only Windows 8.1 consumer preview test build in late June.'"
Giving me an uninstall feature and I might consider it. ;)
I'd like to apologize for the above hateful parent post that I made.
My sweet darling goat with which I was intimate for the past 10 years died today and I'm still coming to terms with the fact that I'll have to fuck the pig from now on.
Again I'm sorry and have a great day.
Oh goodness me, you mean I'd be pissed at an inconsiderate administrator then?
Like the one who refused permission for me to install a program essential to doing my job?
Well, fuck, I should blame that on Microsoft too! It's Bill Gate's fault that he didn't make a system so insecure I could do it anyway!
Actually, a start icon in the lower left is exactly what I wanted. I like the start screen, but the mouse target for launching it was way too small. 8.1 fixed that.
So... how are you enjoying the free Surface you got from the company? I'm told employees are required to be seen using it. How is that working out for you?
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
Windows 8 has windows that act the exact same way as Windows 7. It also has the added bonus of being able to place metro apps side by side, including the desktop. The fact that you didn't know this shows that you are completely clueless and should stop talking.
