You guessed right, Mike! When you de-crapify Win 8, there's nothing left
in
the Metro/Modern window, and all you have to do is to add a Start Menu

It misses the start menu but there is a classic menu about that works other
than it blocks access to a point to the new start button. Also the gadget's

There's a hack for XP mode on Win8 (and lowly Win 7 versions). If you
download XP Mode from ms (or elsewhere) 7-Zip will unpack it and you can
load it in VirtualBox (also maybe hypervisor). Forget all the details
but Google knows them g.

They are all, ultimately, based on Java. However you might not have to
do your development in Java. For example, Titanium development is all
done in JavaScript using an IDE which is a customised version of
Eclipse. And as any fule kno, JavaScript != Java.
Alan,
I meant to put Java/Javascript not just Java as even though they are mututally

I have to say that IMO Apple were lucky to get a head-start with iOS
because IMO compared to recent versions of Android and mobile Windows
it's a distinct third place in terms of usability and design.
I think the 10 is only single core so not very fast. The 4 I know nothing
about. The 7 however is a fast machine, latest android unlike Samsung's poor
effort. The reason I didn't get one, and I was looking, is the lack of
