that's neat, i knew there would be an app or a mod registry entry etc something that would bring the old look back
and it just seemed crazy that the people dissing windows8 couldn't imagine that

Amazed at how unstable most of the Windows 8 apps are. EVERYTHING I have used has crashed at least once. Store, Music, News, EVERYTHING.

I think it might have to do with the login system.. Their servers are probably under heavy load, and my internet connection is pretty horrible. Hate that it has to log in to listen to my music  | |

Set your location in the settings to USA. That's what the store is based on, not IP

Does your computer have to be accessible to the internet before you can run media files?

Yeah when you start the music app, it attempts to load "XBOX Music". You can't do anything until that is complete, and if the login fucks up the program crashes

I installed W8 and there were no app conflicts whatsoever. No USB3.0 driver issues nor MSE (it's still installed and running as I type).

lol same here (and that frightens me) and that's obviously what MSFT is counting on  and likely why the new google Nexus phone is so cheap
if they have a couple more quarters like they've had so far they may as well close up shop though

I used Windows Phone before there was even a phone on it  then all the way up to the post-iphone era, before switching to Android when they couldn't get their shit together.
I'm not a 'fan' of anything so i will use whatever appeals to me. I will be getting a hand-me-down Galaxy Nexus this week I think, so my opinion may be refreshed after using this single core HTC for 2 years now
BTW I just had to look up on google how to reboot Windows 8 
The steps:
1) Hover at the bottom or top right corner
2) Move the mouse up or down, but not left or right. This opens the right side panel
3) click "Settings"
4) click "Power"
5) click "restart"
That's a fuck of a lot of steps to restart the PC  | |

All these obscure keyboard shortcuts don't make sense either. For instance every native app supports the search function, but to get there you have to do the same mouse wizardry, then click search.. or you can press windows+c and then click. Why not make is windows+f if it's going to be universal anyway?
