I find the file copy dialogue quite nice in Windows 8... (shoot first, calculate later, show a pretty graph) and it's nice to do away with wasteful aero transparency crap... It appears to perform quicker than Windows 7 on the same hardware (probably because of the more simplified visuals) and I am enjoying its better understanding of soft and hard links on the file system.
I dislike the new start menu, charms menu and extra fluff in the way of network settings, control panel items and shutdown functions, I've taken to making desktop shortcuts to get to what I actually want. I'm forcing myself to use it so I'm comfortable supporting it, right now I'm at the "meh, it works" stage... Kind Regards, David W.

Microsoft announced that the company discontinued the distribution of retail copies of Windows 7 at the end of October 2013. Microsoft had previously listed that date as October 31, 2014, but changed that information. > > http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2013/12/10/microsoft-ends-windows-7-retail-s ales-directs-consumers-to-windows-8/ > > JRI > > _______________________________________________ > U2-Users mailing list > U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org > http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users > _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users Please consider the environment before printing this email Important Security Information: Maitland Mutual Building Society Limited will never ask for your PIN, password or account details to be disclosed via a link within an email message.
