Christchurch Treehouse of Awesome-Where everyone knows your name

I like it too, and don't mind the start menu at all. Although the nested tiles in a new styled start menu seems really nice to me. I'd assume there'd be an option for either

[Retardobot]

I love windows 8

YOU FILTHY WHORE. WHY ARE YOU EVEN SAYING THAT?

YOU'RE SUCH A NEWB COCK WITH SHIT ALL OVER YOUR DICK.

[Retardobot]

Aaaaaand date with a super cutie on Saturday.

A tiny bit hesitant as she does have a young child, however after many conversations she is actually very smart and responsible.

[Growler]

From the minute I had windows 8 on my rig it's been a blessing.

7 second startups, straight to desktop with a startmenu. Never used the other thing, aero or whatever it is called

[Codex]

lol you should see my ultrabook boot, off to desktop in 4 seconds... dual ssd in raid0 o__o

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

That's awesome Rii.

Make sure to tell her you are the admin of this place. It's sure to impress.

[Retardobot]

It's why she agreed to a date with me in the first place.

Lets do one thing. And then lets change it back.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

ha, the mistake was creating a start menu in the first place in windows 95.

It is a stupid thing. I was glad to see it gone.

I'm a bachelor who gives zero fucks about things.

Living like this gives me the freedom to do whatever I want at a moments notice, and catching a cheap flight to chch to get on the gas with you lot whilst filling my belly with bacon and various fried meats sounds like a damn good reason to show up for a few days.

do it fgt

Got a couch you can crash on if needed

Woah. Care to elaborate? Seemed to work pretty well for like... a few hundred million people for 20 odd years.

[Retardobot]

I don't actually use the start menu on Windows 7.

My most used apps are in the quick bar or as desktop icons. Apart from that, I navigate to my files via Explorer.

However, the tiles and accessibility of most things in Windows 8 is an absolute cluster fuck for me, which is why when I used Windows 8, I was trying to fall back on a start button.

So, in short. I wanted a start button in Win 8 because everything else confused the fuck out of me.

[Growler]

Boot to desktop in win 8..... problem solved!

Boot to desktop in win 8..... problem solved!

Problem? What problem? The "Merto-UI"?

So the metro UI is a problem now?

Just being a jerk, but also kinda trying to make a point

[Growler]

I didn't like metro personally, so yeah, that problem for me was easily solved. I still love windows 8, it's a stable & fast OS. I could put the stability on par with OSX though I don't really tax it as hard as I do my mac rigs.

[Retardobot]

Damn.

Just discovered that my date is a hardcore Christian.

Le sigh.

Win7 made the start menu pretty redundant with the ability to pin programs to taskbar, and the win key + typing program name functionality. If people still used it heavily, it was largely because they failed to adapt to a more more efficient system. I would even say metro is a natural evolution of the win key + type program functionality, because its much easier to pick your program from the list.

That being said, glad they are bringing back the start menu. They really should of handled it like removing window titles from the taskbar in win7, and just made it default but easy to disable. So that way over time, people would pick it up as they got more comfortable in the system.

Damn.

Le sigh.

I don't see the problem, just stick it in her butt.

[Retardobot]

I like to think I'm open minded but I think being a hard and fast follower of the Christian faith is difficult for me to stomach.

I still think this is Growler:
