Unless, of course, you pin your most used applications to the taskbar or create a shortcut on the desktop. Honestly, it is pretty easy to avoid the metro screen if you really want to. In any given day, I may see the metro screen 2-3 times t

Given the fact that several of my enterprise clients provide iPads to quite a few employees, which definitely don't support legacy apps or Office (which SurfaceRT will come installed with), I don't see why legacy support would be an issue w

I blame Verizon for my not having a WP7 phone. I refuse to switch over to AT&T and Sprint coverage is hit or miss in my area, but I still hold a grudge over Verizon for not offering a better WP7 device than the HTC Trophy.

Agreed, having used Vista from release to Win 7 release, I never seemed to see the stability issues that so many seemed to be reporting. It made me wonder if people were just trying to work with ridiculously outdated hardware and software.

Alt-F4 from the desktop in Win 8 still works, as well. Being that I'm in the desktop a majority of the time on Win 8 and have always used Alt-F4 if actually needed to turn off my machine for some reason (who does this anymore?), so not muc

The same is true for me. Damn typing classes would mark you down if you didn't two space, so that drove me into two spacing everything, as well. I've been trying to push myself into single spacing for a while now, though...It's tough.

How is the dev life over at QL? They keep calling and trying to get me to come in for an interview, but I haven't had the time to really consider it having just gotten in at ciber in Southfield a few months back.

Actually, you can even get around the need for shortcut keys for admin tools if you really need to. Admin tools can be added to the start screen from the settings menu on the home screen: Settings -> Tiles -> "Show administrative t

1. Valid concern if adding an extra mouse click here and there bothers you 2. Only a concern if you think that everything has to be done from the start screen/MetroUI. Everything feels just as it did in Win7 from the desktop in my experien

Microsoft would probably sell more of them if there were some decent phones on carriers besides AT&T. Last time I got a new phone, I wanted to go Windows Phone 7, but I'm sure as hell not switching to AT&T from Verizon for it.

Maybe they would have sold more if it were available on more than one carrier. My service with Verizon is too good for me to switch carriers over a phone.

People weren't really looking for a better phone at the time, though. Everyone knew you had to go to AT&T to get an iPhone, and if they didn't want to change carriers or shell out $$ for the iPhone, they were fine with the cheap featur

In other words, see the Verizon Droid ads that pushed android into being a major competitor to iOS..Android didn't do it all by themselves; Verizon put together commercials that evoked emotional responses that brought in the people who want
