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

    Ken Blake sounds like condescending.  News to Ken: Window 8 blows.  I have wasted 2 weeks of my life learning it and I hate it more than we I first opened it.   It should not be as hard as flying a plane.  So, that is a terrible analogy.

    Hidden essential functions? side scrolling menus?  No capability to configure as previous windows version?  Internet explorer is configured different if launched from the start screen instead of desktop.  I can go on.

    When I close steam I am forced to the start screen instead of my desktop.  I never want to see the start screen ... ever. 

    Here is some advice to Microsoft.  Don't try to be Apple.  I am not sure who you are trying to please.  I will never have a touch screen or a tablet so I don't need an operating system for that.

    PS: Dell does not provide downgrade rights.  I have asked customer support.

    Hey, guys and gals,

    I figured it out! I was just looking at my mouse pad on my new Lenovo, and over on the right-hand side of the mouse pad, I found a vertical line of dots impressed into the pad, about 3/8" in from the edge. Out of curiosity, I tested the area. When I touch that area, the Demon Charms come up!

    I touched the mouse pad all over, outside of that area, and the Charms didn't come up at all.

    The right-side area of the Lenovo mouse pad is the source of the Demon Charms. As long as I don't touch that part, they don't come up. I can accept that as my solution.

    ;^)
