"had a button to click 'Ignore New Features' " Hahahahaa!

Joe... THAT is what I am talking about. You don't have to hit the WIN+D. You can put the start page on your app screen OR you can put it on whatever the hell that thing is called that appears when you put your cursor in the upper left corner. As well, the whatever the hell it is in the upper left corner can have various places to go which appear on the left side of the screen if you have your glasses on and just happen to notice them as the are barely visible.

I am sure WIN8 is just peachy and warm and fuzzy if you take the tutorials. WHO has time for that when there is something to moan and complain about? In my case, I first saw the start page and I was immediately POd, as in, WTF IS THAT? That is not a proper handshake. It's like meeting one of those guys that tries to impress you by squeezing your hand real hard. It took me several days to get "back" to my old desktop and I still "find something" by mistake every now and then.

One of these days, I'll take the tutorials. They can be found easily thru a Google search... if you wanna use the Google bar, go to Google using the preloaded Bing bar (which sucks in comparison) and download it, choosing it as the default. Took me 5 minutes to realize and execute that simple process.
