Despite all of the annoyances of Windows 8, I must say, the random "switching to fullscreen mode" is the most aggravating. . I thought I turned off full screen mode, but it keeps doing that fullscreen.... thing. It's done it -at least- 5 times while I typed this.

    I agree with you on the platform; at one time we chose between Win and iOS, but Windows has decide to force us to move to Macs. I used to have both but my PC's are getting awfully dustry. . .

    Are you **** kidding me?  Who came up with this brilliant design?  That person should be dragged through the streets naked, tared and feathered and shot.  That is the stupidest **** idea  ever.  Death is too easy of a punishment for the stupid **** who came with this.

    Why don't you just drop to a **** DOS prompt?  That would be more useful than some dog **** useless full screen mode.

    It boggles my mind how a company could so something so **** stupid.  It's not like all your employees are stupid.  You seem to hire pretty good programmers/engineers.  However someone you take all of that talent and produce giant steaming piles of ****.
