Metro will never launch with start8 enabled.
Install adobe reader on the machine and it will open pdfs on the desktop only as well even if they are launched from metro.
Right click something that doesn't work or install on windows 8, go to properties, compatibility and select windows 7. Then run it again. It will work as before, unlike every other vendor out there.
Hell it'll even run 32-bit stuff I compiled for NT4 on Visual C++ 4.2 with dynamic linking in 1997 without a problem! Cant really fault that since the same era Linux binaries or Solaris binaries won't work from back then.
- vacri 13y agoFair enough on start8, but I will note that compatibility mode didn't work - that's the first thing I went for. I've always found compatability mode to be spotty - probably about half/half in terms of success. As for linux binaries, I have a sysadmin friend that boasts that some stuff he wrote in '95 works without a hitch on modern linux, so it's not a cut-and-dried affair there either.
