First reviewed ca. 2010, but I think it's current. I forgot that the tablet itself is running Android, although Elonex is also a Windows box-shifter.

IIRC, the Next tablet was/is also resistive.

What brought you to even find that tablet? It's shit in so many ways other than the touch screen.

IIRC it was in a review(s) of several tablets (including the one from Next) around the time after the iPad2 was launched.

Can't find the review(s) now. I think one was in PCPro and the other Trusted Reviews. But that's stretching my terrible memory beyond breaking point TBH.

And I agree that it's shit in so many ways, but people buy this shit for they know no better (or it's good/cheap enough for them not to care), but they get a shit experience from it. Allegedly.

You mean like the Start Screen?

The Start screen is the start menu. Just bigger and with more colours.

And laid out by a retard. There is no rhyme or reason and no grouping really. If you don't pin things you need you end up spending all day hunting for stuff. Damn I think I'm getting old and grumpy.

Or you just start typing the name of the thing you want and it goes into Search mode automatically.

Happy now?

So explain this to me.  They removed the start button, but require you to either hover down where it used to be or press the windows button on the keyboard to get to the new start screen.  How is that better?  I think it's change just to change and I think it's far worse for finding things.

How do you do that normally?

Or do you usually just look for the icon?

I go into control panel and look for something that seems to fit what I'm trying to do

Have you tried the typing thing in Windows 7?

I can more often find what I want by typing what I'm thinking rather than using the control panel.

Mouse to the bottom-left corner. Click.

It's almost like doing it in Windows 7.

But that only takes you to a mess of a screen with no organization at all.  No grouping of programs just rows and rows of icons sorted in a haphazard jumble.

 

And if they put that down there what is the purpose of changing the way it works?

No, it takes you to a very large Start menu. Except in this version it's up to you to organise it, so that it fits you best. They started doing it with the ability to pin applications to the old Start Menu.

You can tell it's just the same thing from the way that installing VLC gives you a load of icons that you'll never click on, same as it put a load of entries in the Windows 7 Start menu but you just didn't see them because you didn't go that far down the All Programs tree.

So I can create folders?

 

The way it chooses what is shown on the very big start menu is very random, and then you have to right click and say show all apps and find the one you want in that sea of icons.  I don't care, you won't change my mind and convince me this way is better, because it's not.

 

(and I'm only arguing on the desktop/laptop side of things) the new start menu and tiles is perfectly acceptable for tablets and phones.  But to force this fucking nightmare on everyone is unforgivable.

You can change what it chooses to show though, and how it's all grouped. So you can have it just like you might want it to be.
