Okay, I have been using OS's long enough to be an expert. Unfortunately, the company I know and at some point I swear I trusted them, took all the stuff I knew and threw it out of windows. So, basically all that useless information I was learning while other kids were going outside and playing with each other is slightly more useless than before I got Windows 8. Now, I am trying to give the new OS and change in general a fair shot, but gosh darn if they didn't make even the simplest of things completely different. It's rather illogical. Not to digress, but I mean, why exactly is it necessary to outright delete functionality that had no real flaws in favor of something that has many? Even if they were trying to satisfy some nazionalist agenda to remake all UI into the one master UI, they are making is WWII era difficult to adjust to the new system.
So here are my questions that I shouldn't have to ask because I am not 6 years old and I have used a computer before:
Why does the start menu have more functionality than my desktop? Which one should I be using to launch programs?
How much extra computer resources are being used to run that new start page?
How do you multitask when in an app? I can't seem to access anything other than the app I am using. Is there a way to bring up a task bar? It has never been so hard to play solitaire and watch TV at the same time. Please tell me I am missing something here.
How do you exit an app? Why is there no exit button on any apps? Currently I have to go to start, go to desktop, hover mouse over left side of screen, right click, click close. Is that how you do it or am I missing something simple?
Are hotkeys still in use or is that too convenient for the new OS? Which ones no longer work?
How do you minimize an app? How do you use an app while still using the desktop?
Are there any changes in basic user directories I should know about?
Im a windows person i have tried my luck with linux and i also have a macbook pro but in the end i like windows its nice and easy to use and does the job same as the others.Sure there will be a new windows version but as you said its more of 2 -3 year period... I dont see any major flaws/failures in windows7 or in windows8 therefore i dont struggle with the thought of staying on both of them for a while.What i was trying to say is when a operationsystem is created in less than a year it is highly likely to have these flaws/failures...And compared to what i have currently, it would be a broken but completed product that wasnt even tested to a point where you could give it a thumb up for production, and like you i don´t think a company of MS standard would make such a move.It is certain that the new plate is on schedule, but when they make a new OS it should improve another level, and i dont think that is done in only 1 year.That is why i dont expect to hear from it until winter2013 or 2014
