He didn't say content creation was flat-out 'impossible' but only that it was painfully difficult in comparison to earlier OS versions.
That is the part I don't get. If you are using the computer as a content-generation system, you should have two monitors. I hardly know anyone who is using a single monitor setup for work anymore. And the moment you use dual monitors, the standard desktop is on at least one of the monitors.
one of the things I found dissapointing and surprising was that you cant have Start/Metro on the second monitor - I installed win8 on an old laptop, connected it to my tv to play around with it and could only get the START things up on the tv if I made it the primary monitor or set them to Duplicate rather than extend. Seemed like a bug to me, if its a design choice seems an odd one.
The laptop was a lenovo T61 (pretty old) and everything was good until I connected up a hotmail online account and then the touchpad and all USB stopped working. gave up after a few hours and put the win7 hard drive back in. I dont know if it was switching on the hotmail account that caused it or something else but didnt seem possible to get those drivers working again (tried installing chipset etc... but nothing seemed to help).
Did mean I used win8 with only a keyboard for a while and that seemed to be OK (ie you could do everything, just painfully).
No its 1 to 11 (10 increase = 1000% of 1 ) to 121 which is an increase of 110 over the 11
ie each year is last years number times 11 to give a 10x increase.
