How in the does anybody operate in this environment. I now have 20 windows open and can't figure out how to close a damn thing. I know the weather in Paris and couldn't give a. This SUCKS!!! This is an improvement? Can I get Windows XP or 7 back? This SUCKS!!! I can't get around. I can't close a window. I can't update any of these stupid tiles. This SUCKS!!! Any advice from anybody else out there? Frustrated beyond belief, John

You too are a turd. This attititude that "we are so great that everyone should fall down a sing praises to Microsoft" is what doesn't hold water.
Microsoft can curl up and die for all I care... I stand by what I said - because if you think you are being *forced* to do anything - you deserve whatever the results end up being.
It's the argument I had a problem with - and continuing to use that argument just shows ignorance.

REALLY??? That is your reply? To be rude and condecending? We are so fabulous that you MUST worship at our feel and thank us for being so wonderful... Windows 8 is being forced on those of us that DO NOT WANT IT. Way to do things, force the public to buy something they don't want instead of providing the public with what they want to buy.
Try pressing ALT-f4. This is a great webpage for learning Windows 8: http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/operating-systems/50-windows-8-tips-tricks-and-secrets-1028220. Also, there IS a desktop view, search Desktop from the start screen and open the app that comes up.
Shenan,
Thanks for your response, but I have still not met you, or had a coffee with you. I have read your post, but I really don't know who you are.
The Dell XPS 12 is quite capable. I wanted to introduce them to my work place, but they are heavier than our current Toshiba laptops, and our staff don't want anything heavier, they want something that is significantly lighter. I am unable to get my hands on a Dell XPS 12 or a Latitude 10 to test them. I am unable to order either with 3G which is why we did not bother, but it does have Wacom Active Stylus support, a plus.
We have staff who are waiting for the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2, which has a digitizer pen, weighs 565g and 3G support (mobile broadband). It only has an Atom processor, which might be a bit slow, and with only 64 GB HD there is not much disk space to carry your files (the user in mind currently has around 400-500 GB in their My Documents, I guess they can carry an External USB HD?).
I tend to believe that users want more than what technology can deliver today. I keep looking at the Haswell chip set because it will finally allow these portable devices to be able to have reasonable video performance, but I think that real power savings and greater CPU performance will not be here until two or three years time. Sorry that we want it all now! Why, because I have it with my desktop, and I now want it to be portable (I am actually echoing what others have said to me, but I do agree).
Personally I do like the Samsung ATIV Smart PC Pro, but we are unable to purchase it with 3G support as yet, maybe this will come out later? Current price here is about $1500.
Thanks for your comments.
