glockman513 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Looks like I'm gonna have to get it this week and try out the uefi booting. Which probably means I'll end up dumping the gtx 680, and looking for a video card that's uefi compatible.

n8ball2013 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 ok ive spent more time with it and the interface doesn't bother me nearly as much couple things. one if I hit enter while on the ie9 to move to a new line it will not space down. Like im typing this all in one line because it will not space down. Not sure what causes that but its fucking annoying. Two. brand new pc has updates that fail. Im now going one by one to find out whats cuasing it. yay for me. as if I don't get enough of that at work.

Hotdog Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 you know what would be a cool add on for the PC. Since Windows 8 support some Xbox technology I wonder if you can use the Kinetc with Windows 8 for gesture or to move around windows 8 with out even touching the screen? actually maybe it will happen -->http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2012/09/04/kinect-windows-getting-windows-8-support-october-8-coming-china/ (NEW) 2004 F-150 Build Log -->http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/192208-hotdogs-f-150-build-log/ 2003 Mercury Mountaineer Build Log --> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/114380-hotdogs-2003-mountaineer-build-log-20-removed/page__gopid__1602379#entry1602379 2008 Equinox Build Log --> http://www.stevemead...g/#entry1475764 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaker Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 There is a registry key and a setting on the pro version to re-enable the start menu, I'll have to find it. When its enabled it does cool shit like, multiple task bars on multiple monitors, hot keys for moving windows to other monitors, etc. We have a few thousand keys for it at work, but its not allowed on the domain yet until it gets through pen testing. I do have it setup on a touch screen, and it seems to work well. I havent tried WMC yet, which is the main thing I use windows machines for in the house. **edit** It seems the registry key was disabled after the consumer preview, I'm sure its still there, I'll take a look. If you dont want to pay the 5$ for stardock, I'm checking out this free open source one http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/ Also seems to have more options.

If the time is wrong, the update will fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I was going to write this big post about how code writers today are sloppy and lazy. How we don't care that a I.M. program uses 32MB of ram and all it really does is send text messages and tell us we have a e-mail. But, I am from a time of DOS 5.0 and memory management was actually important. Times have changed and I guess I haven't. We now live in a time when the thing that you shouldn't even notice exists uses 1GB of ram (1,073,000,000 bytes +/-), and requires a 1ghz cpu. Yes, the pretty colors are cool, and i don't mind clicking on a picture to run a program. But, really? Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.
