[dba-Tech] Windows 8.1

Stuart,

Your right: invalid comparison. And also, IMO, specious: in my case, it
took me about 3 days to go from Win7 to total comfort in Win8. Once I
discovered a couple of magic gestures and taps, I began loving it. And I
still do. One tap on the Windows key to switch from the tiled interface to
the desktop, and one more to switch back. One right-click on a tile to
uninstall an app. Hold the shift key and drag tiles to rearrange them any
way you want. That alone was a huge help. Now my Start tiles include SSMS,
Word, Alpha Anywhere, Chrome, Access, SQL Bench and a few others such as
the Live Tiles, which I think are really really cool. To get to the other
tiles requires nothing more than a slide to the right. What could be
easier? Way faster than the Win7 Start menu! On the desktop I have
utilities such as xplorer2, NoteTab, Free Javascript Editor, ImgBurn and a
VirtualBox Ubuntu VM. Most everything on my desktop is on the QuickLaunch
bar.
