Should have spent a couple of quid on Start8 which makes Win8 usable,
rather than a few hundred on a iThing ...


From what I read that does not remove the constant opening of bars and stuff
if you get the curser to close to the edge of the screen, it only gets you
back your Start menu which can and has been done on both with a free
program.
Why the manufacturers ever sold non-touch Win 8 machines goodness knows,
it's damaged their reputation, the reputation of Microsoft, and driven some
users elsewhere, I suspect permanently.
