Re: Windows 8

Yeahhhh... it's really intended for tablets, tbh. (I'm honestly regretting my purchase, and I wish I'd got an Apple!)

As to how you use it - there should be a little windows icon down the bottom (the square window pane thing), and you should be able to click on that to get back to the main screen with all the apps and stuff. There should also be a "Desktop" app which brings you to a screen that looks like the Windows 7 desktop with all the folders and stuff on it.

The tile icon was introduced in Windows 8.1, because tons of people were pissed about it. So I would download Windows 8.1 if I were you.

For closing tabs if you have a tablet, you should be able to swipe horizontally across the screen to switch apps.

Not sure about the links thing, that's weird.

Yep, this is the main problem. They made this great tablet OS and then they just PUT IT ON A LAPTOP WITHOUT CHANGING *ANYTHING*.

I even had one app-related thing I was doing tell me to "swipe" something.

I mean I get that some laptops have touchscreens now but they don't all have them. Sheesh. a little basic editing/reformatting maybe...?

Yeah. Assuming that everyone has tablets is a REALLY dumb decision that could have taken like... what, 5 seconds of research?

I'm just picturing this room full of douchebag IT guys & marketers.

Also, making such a significant change to the navigation was also a really dumb idea, since it's what works and what people are familiar with. You can't expect people to just instantly switch overnight.

(I just have a lot of feelings about Microsoft okay.)
