is one. I don't know if there are others.
Try another shop.I went into my computer shop this afternoon. They told me W8 was an
appalling pile of junk that after 20 minutes of testing they removed
from the machine.

I agree. It has taken me a while to begin to develop a "feel" forTry another shop.
Odd... Microsoft sold 40 million licenses in the first month. Which isI went into my computer shop this afternoon. They told me W8 was an

You should hire more intelligent people if you want your computer shopI went into my computer shop this afternoon. They told me W8 was an

I don't know the answer to this: is it possible to have the Ctrl keyI agree. It has taken me a while to begin to develop a "feel" for
Windows 8 but I really like it now that I've weaned myself away from
the olden days with Windows 7 and earlier versions.
I'm still having a bit of a problem finding my mouse pointer from
time to time. If I inadvertently brush the mouse to the right side of
the screen the pointer will go into hiding and the only way I can get
it back is to do a repeat brush of the mouse to the left, several
strokes. The mouse pointer will then appear at the top right of the
screen and everything works well until the next time I knock the mouse
to the right, beyond the edge of the screen. Gordon
But on rereading your post, I realize you know where the mouse cursorI don't know the answer to this: is it possible to have the Ctrl key
show the location of the mouse pointer?
It works in Win 7 and earlier versions, but I don't know if it comes
from MS or the mouse maker.
It is working here for me right now. And the setting is under ControlI don't know the answer to this: is it possible to have the Ctrl key

OK, if you are using a desktop computer and don't have a touchscreenTry another shop.
Oh man! You don't need a touch screen to use Windows 8. Works fine withOK, if you are using a desktop computer and don't have a touchscreen
what are the benefits of Windows 8? Persuade me!
So what are you doing here?Justin said:Usenet is obsolete.
No, I won't.You will go to Microsoft, join their social forum and ask questions there.
And if all I want to do *is* the classic desktop stuff? Please explainBillW50 said:Oh man! You don't need a touch screen to use Windows 8. Works fine with
a keyboard and a mouse too. Not only do you have the old Windows Desktop
(which we know and love since Windows 95), but a whole new desktop
called MetroUI (some call it ModernUI). It is like having two OS in one.
As now you can run full screen Apps under Windows too. It is all very
exciting! And it makes Windows 7 look very boring. Since Windows 7 is so
limit as it can only do the classic desktop stuff and that is it.
Yes you could dualboot, but dualbooting sucks! I hate dualbooting! ShutAnd if all I want to do *is* the classic desktop stuff? Please explain
why it's better than XP, which has done all I want to do since they
discontinued '98.
If I want 2 OS's, then I can dual boot into Linux.

I can also run either Windows or Linux in a virtual machine by justBillW50 said:Yes you could dualboot, but dualbooting sucks! I hate dualbooting! Shut
down one OS and then boot up another one. What nonsense! That isn't
being productive at all! Plus some applications like Office and IE runs
in either classic or MetroUI.
Install Linux and make it work my way with my hardware. It was touch andSure you could just use Windows only with a classic desktop. But for how
long? That is what DOS users used to say too about the classic Windows
desktop. Now where are they today? Someday (maybe sooner than you
think), developers may stop supporting Windows classic applications and
just only develop MetroUI Apps. Then what are you going to do?
