[QUOTE="WeeWillie, post: 464174, member: 55635"] Hi again, [COLOR=#000000]xyzzy, funnily enough I just came across IObit's "Start Menu 8" today.[/COLOR] [url]http://www.iobit.com/iobitstartmenu8.php[/url]I [COLOR=#000000]I don't know how long they'll they'll allow me to use it, but it feels soooo good. :) It comes with their own free "Advanced System Care 7" app but I didn't install it. I've used it before and discovered a few niggly problems after I used it a couple of times.[/COLOR] Anyway, a good selection of views and advice on Windows 8. I understand the points made and can identify with some of them, the others will help me for future reference if I stay with 8, I can't quite make up my mind. I could easily remove Win 8 and install Win 7. I do have to admit though, 8 does feel a bit faster than 7 however, I'd put that down to me using a new PC :playful: [I]Mentioning Windows 7, I've plugged in an external partitioned slave drive to the new PC containing many folders in the[U] second[/U] partition that I use constantly. The [U]first[/U] partition has Windows 7 installed. At the moment, when I attempt install an App in Win 8 it automatically chooses to install it in the Win 7 external slave drive, but I'm a bit concerned about that, so choose to install in the Win 8 OS instead. Anyone know if I were to use Win 7 in the slave drive, would it conflict with Win 8?[/I] Giverny, I feel it's more than "such a shame that they (MS) are ending support for XP. They're abandoning them, leaving them no alternative but to upgrade. It's a form of blackmail really. Typical multi-billion dollar company being disloyal to their customers of many many years. It's not as if XP was going to shrivel up and die on its own, they're deliberately killing it off, and as we all know there's thousands still using and are content with XP, let alone Win 7 which will be the next OS to be abandoned by MS. Dirty rotten scoundrels. :dummy: :) Just one little side issue, brilliant as they are, the guys at MS, when designing new OS systems appear to assume all their customers are as (I'll use your words) tech-savvy, as themselves. Most annoying. lol. With a "Respectogram" [IMG]http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv21/itsonlyoldme/res_zps766907e9.gif[/IMG] Once again, thank you.... Andy. Lenny. chalkie. noblehead. Giverny. xyzzy. Hobs.BradClark Paul. MCMLXXIII. Best wishes to you all. willie. [/QUOTE]
