Yeah, and the corners are even tougher on multi-monitors and RDP. It's not that Metro is bad really, but no one cares when they are at work. There are days upon days that I never see my desktop, and others have excel or Great Plains or whatever opened all day, they don't care about live tiles. But they do care when they try to open a program and have to navigate a poorly implemented start screen, when it just to be as easy as clicking start/windows button and picking what you want.
haha it still is pressing windows button and picking what you want! eeeh. HOW WILL I SEE MY ICON NOW ITS BIGGER AND THERE'S LESS OF THEM
So if it's the same, why is it now different? What is better about pressing the keyboard key? Why change it? It was fine. And the only tiles you see are the ones you don't even want to see.
You can re-arrange the icons. Have you not tried doing that? Also, clicking in the bottom-left corner of the screen brings the Start window up.
I have not, because I'm not using the rubbish. Oh wait, I suddenly love Windows 8 now. So carry on, while I enjoy the fantastic changes!
I think we're just having a few problems working out why you keep complaining about bits of Windows 8 not doing things that they actually can do.
Where do I keep complaining about it? I think if look you'll see that over and over I keep saying they've changed things just to change them and didn't put any thought into it. There is nothing better about Windows 8 for desktop/laptop.
Ah, so you're disliking it on a philosophical level? Can't help you with that. Try Drew. He thinks a lot.
Though, I'd have to say I disagree with you. As far as I'm concerned, the Start menu just got bigger and more colourful, and isn't filled with folders of icons for programs that I never use, like Safe Mode for VLC (whatever that does). And if I do want to look at those useless icons, there's a simple way of doing so.
No improvement at all, really.
Mostly. I have used it and it doesn't improve efficiency or make my job easier so it fails more than on a philosophical level. It comes down to Microsoft thinking they know better how I need to use my computer, and that they needed more money. No one will pay for Windows 7 again, so they had to fuck it up and hype it as something new and better.
