Hi all
I wonder whether the upgrade to win8.1 will have issues with Start8??? Amongst other apps.
I think it comes down to:
I HAVE ZERO, that's ZILCH, NADA, NIL reasons to upgrade to 8.
And sorry, they jacked the price way too high for a casual upgrade at this point.
Besides history repeats itself and they were due to screw up another OS release.
Former Microsoft Windows chief: I was right to kill the Start button ? The RegisterFormer Microsoft Windows chief: I was right to kill the Start button
Ex-Windows chief Steven Sinofsky is “happy” with the miserable sales record of tablets and PCs running his Windows 8 baby.
...For the sake of history, let's remember Windows 8 hasn't just not helped revive sales of PCs - it has actually hurt them. Bob O'Donnell, IDC's program vice president for clients and display, wrote at the time of his company's predicted PC sales numbers: "It seems clear that the Windows 8 launch not only failed to provide a positive boost to the PC market, but appears to have slowed the market."
He blamed the radical changes Microsoft had made to its UI with Metro, the removal of the familiar Start button, and the relative expense of touch PCs.
And now you wonder why he is now the "former gui chief"?! He got out of the ring before the lions were released making himself a nice patsy to pass the blame on but now gone for MS to cover their.... ??? Let's say Win 8.1 won't be what saves their bacon in the long run! A closer look at what's new in Windows 8.1 | ZDNet So what's new? "Improved Apps"! and we know where that is going! Metro for Tablet while the desktop gets the toilet! IE 11 will allow unlimited number of tabbed windows for tabbed browsing.
What they are referring to is IE 11 for 8.1 Blue being a new IE but for 8 only not for 7. IE 10 saw the 7 release made available. As for the number of tabs I never found that out by having that many tabs open since I disable tabbed browsing to start with. With the dual monitors here I move browser windows back and forth between displays often enougn when having multiple WaterFox windows open. For some reason IE 8, 9, 10 will all tend to stall when having multiple IE windows open going back the 7 RCs while everything else about 7 has been 100%!
