[dba-Tech] Windows 8 tips (was: Home Network Setup)

ones.

Hello John,

Not sure if it was here that I got this link, but I will post it again anyway, I found it great.

http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/30-new-hotkeys-for-windows-8/

However, the most valuable keystroke that I never knew about until recently is Windows Key + Right Arrow, or Windows Key
+ Left Arrow.

I have a Dell 29 inch 2560 x 1080 monitor now and it is great for running two browsers on one screen.
