Given that Blogger is owned by Google, this is not acceptable. Anyway, I finally found it with the "First World Problems" tag.<br /><br />Anyway, I thought you might be interested in today's <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/start-menu-pro/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+giveawayoftheday%2Ffeed+%28Giveaway+of+the+Day%29" rel="nofollow">Giveaway of the Day</a> which apparently is capable of creating a start menu for Win 8. If you haven't already beaten the OS into submission, I thought this might help.Rhoadanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375561352677522227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-4183200319411847372012-11-29T08:00:52.539-06:002012-11-29T08:00:52.539-06:00Sounds like MS is trying to be Android.

Setting up a new computer always takes longer than you expected. <br /><br /><br />I get the impression that Win 8 is designed for smart phone and tablet users which means that I might adapt more readily than you are. It still sounds like a disaster though.<br /><br />Sadly, I'm going to need to get a new laptop soon as the display on my current one crapped out. Fortunately, I was able to hook an old desktop display, but I do have to worry about how long the rest of the laptop hardware is going to last. I think I'm going to need to play with Win 8 in the store before deciding what OS to get.
