Thread: 2.0 in Windows 8

You can pin things to the task bar in Windows 8, too. For the frequently-used programs that you don't want to pin, just place in them in the first tile positions of the Start Screen. Push the Windows key, and then click what's right there in front of your face. That's no different from Windows 7, really.

Except you have to go through the start screen just to get to the destktop. I'm well aware the taskbar still exists. But it, like the desktop, is buried underneath the start screen.

Definitely think they shouldn't have made an OS that requires you to go out and make / find things to better your experience but w.e I didn't pay for my version and I love finding neat things to solve my problem.

That's part of the reason why win8 is so bad though. You shouldn't have to do any of these things, especially paying $80 or however much for an "upgrade." If its just a "new version" of an OS, you shouldn't have to relearn it if you already knew the previous version. You also shouldn't have to look to 3rd party software to fix what shouldn't have been broken in the first place.
