John,
You keep giving the same answer, probably the one you are told to give... yes, I know all the tricks inside word, publisher etc..... but all the functions inside MS Picture Manager are not there. The replacement software you force us to use ... unless you really know how to manipulate your settings.. is rubish and it has taken me a long time, but I have Windows 8 w/ Office 13 and HAVE downloaded MS PICTURE MANAGER - there IS A WAY to do it... you just are not allowed to tell the public!!!! - I HAVE MADE MS Picture manager MY DEFAULT APPLICATION TO OPEN ALL PHOTOS AS WELL. I have ALSO downloaded ADOBE ACROBAT - a tool you now default to your own version of a "reader" that you can do nothing with... so now EVERYTHING I OPEN - no longer opens in YOUR reader - it OPENS in my version of ADOBE. I had to work very hard to find solutions to obtain the tools that I need to work. And it is NOT about learning new tools. I can use the new features just fine and actually like some... but you've taken away my bread and butter so-to-speak. So with hours and hours of research and manipulation of settings I now have a computer that is reasonably useful. BUT MS IS GOING THE WAY OF THE BLACKBERRY... OR I HOPE SO... and i hate to say that because I never wish anything bad on anyone..... BUT WHAT MS HAD DONE TO THEIR CONSUMER IS CRIMINAL.. IT IS A SCAM. I hope you have gathered enough info from Windows 8 and office 13 to earn enough $ to make up for all the loss in business that will come. Computer sales down 9% - experts and economists report that MS 8 has been the leading cause of the loss of sales. Stores everywhere and companies such as HP are discontinuing laptops w/ Windows 8 - MS should be ashamed of themselves. I was able to manipulate my tech enough because I had hours to do so.. and a little bit of know how... what about those that don't. Ask your "powers that be" if they can come up with a better and honest answer for you to give to people in this forum. Your answer is disingenuous, and deceptive. and you are a representative of MS! End users that have limited experience and those with more experience can see through this poor excuse for an answer and a blatant disregard for your clients needs and an insult to us. YES !!! WE ALL AGREE WITH JOHN! I've done the same thing... we don't want your cloud! Don't need your cloud! Just tried to use the one note because I'm not linked to a printer ..... what another piece of **** That program is... wanted to save all my current email address to a document before I cleaned up and deleted about 250 of them.... I HATE YAHOO just as much now!!! and you can;t do any thing with the document once it is save there.... copy and paste to somewhere else???? Forget it that one got UN_PINNED from my tool bar!
