I don't have a touchscreen monitor so it made sense to install the start menu :) [Edited on 26-02-2013 by Bart] That was already on its way out in windows 7.. Hence the introduction of task-bar pinning :)

	Use 8 on my mac and upgrading around 100 servers to 2012 at the moment. Fun times

	Just press start and type what you want, using the mail and calendar metro apps though

	Using W8 as my main OS, love the startup/shut down times but never use it in Metro, just looks a mess, desktop mode all the way for me.

	took the plunge and upgraded to 8, so far i'm enjoying it, nice to have things pinned and just quick click and it opens

	No, stay on 7 if you can

	Evening All, I did have one of these codes which was e-mailed to me but then passed it too a friend and have since decided that I would like to go to Windows 8. By any chance does anyone have an upgrade key they would like to pass on so I can get Windows 8 for 14.99 [Edited on 26-02-2013 by fiestakidda]
