Same here. Love Classic Shell. h8ted win8 without it (SWIDT –sc?) My win8 laptop has touch but I usually use it docked and via the desktop. Predominately use my Surface from desktop w/keyboard although I am finally getting used to touch on both devices for some really quick things and actually make a conscious choice to use it much more than I used to. Learning all the KB shortcuts is a really big help. Every once and a while I try to swipe a conventional monitor now…doh From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Stovall Sent: Thursday, June 27, 2013 8:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [spam] [dkim-failure] Re: [NTSysADM] General Windows 8 question I use it every day on my home workstation. I would not use it without something like Classic Shell. I have a couple of WS2012 machines at work and I tolerate the UI, but I don't like it. I have desktop and taskbar shortcuts to PoSh, cmd, control panel, etc. so that I don't have to use the idiotic new start menu very often.

For those already running Windows 8 when it releases, it will be available from the Windows app store.

I got a great deal on a full copy of Windows 8 Pro for him. The drive is about to be ordered. The question is from what I have been told at the Orlando Microsoft Store front those people running Windows 8 (RT, Pro, Phone) will be getting the new Windows 8.1 when it is released. I would like to confirm this and find out if this will come by way of a download using Windows Update or what? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot!
