Bringing back a start-like button

I never had to look for an option... I always had local admin rights. :p

oh. guess it's too late for http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22446754 i'z so slow. glad i don't have to pay attention to it.

i quite like mine, its fast as hell and instantly on, but would be nice to have programmes and more storage on-board(USB storage works fine)

So you cant make a restore w8 cd from preinstalled software as with previous version of windows. so i had to use clonezilla to clone my w8 install incase for whatever silly reason i wanted w8 back. Next i had to change bios to legacy mode and legacy boot mode. Installed w7, used disk management to shrink volume to create another partition for linux mint. gparted was complaining there was left over gpt data in the mbr, so windows didnt really clean install :P so i had to use gdisk (in lm software center) to zap the remaining gpt data out. Next, i had to /fixmbr and /fixboot to fix windows to boot again using recovery console from the install disk. Then i could finally install linux and grub on to sda so that grub would list windows in the boot list. LMAO, all because of efi! Yes, this all did take a few hours, but it was fun (sarcastically and actually really fun to fix)

Wouldn't it have been easier (and cheaper, depending on what your time is worth to you) to just buy a new computer? lol

haha nice.

Our IT at my work didn't block Google Chrome! Guess what I use...

We still use XP. But if you get s new computer you get windows 7.

yea corp can get win7 but priv custs will quite likely get win8 when buying hp, dell, etc.

I'm actually kind of liking Win7 at work... it's not the devil I was led to believe.

compared to what?

The Demoncratic Rendell.

i really need to start blowing up demoncrats just for the heck of it.

What I did was uninstall windows 8 and install window 7 home premium on it..

and now it's perfect...
