    who and why is anyone going for the free Win10 upgrade ?

    Usually the problem with new OS's - is not the OS, it's getting hw drivers that are compatible with whatever computer the OS is on. Saying that, I'll probably upgrade the MS Surface 3. The Toshiba laptop... I'll wait until it's stabilized i.e. give them time to develop the drivers for it...

    ereader app-Win8.1 for touch screen: page flip, stretch zo

    Hi. I looked into ereader programs a couple of years ago, and found most of them cumbersome. Things have improved since then... but not that much AFAIK. Does anyone have a ereader app that they are happy with, that they would recommend? In the ereader app I'm looking for - to use with my...

    keyboard window resize snap

    Of course the window resize is a problem... by pressing the button on the keyboard next to the 'X' at the top-right, ALL the windows are resized. Overkill much? Possibly a solution is to use a keyboard key remap program- to disable the key. Does anyone know if Sharpkeys or Keytweak have the...

    Add features to Windows 8.1? worth it?

    Ya... I should have used Bitlocker on the previous tablet that got the power/charging connection problem. Because I did not, I can't return my still-under-warranty tablet for replacement. Maybe it's just paranoia, but I don't want to be vulnerable like that with my personal id/password files...

    Add features to Windows 8.1? worth it?

    In the bottom-left of the Control Panel | Windows Update (among other places), there is a link that allows a 8.1 user to upgrade their system. What do you think? To me... not worth it. I would consider it though- if it was 1/2 the price. :confused:

    Do you agree the Windows 8.1 Start Button is a Joke?

    You didn't set 8.1 to work properly with non touch, gestures are not needed to work with the mouse. ok. Didn't know that those could be changed/configured(?) Because you're right... gestures do not work at all with a mouse. It was hard to move the mouse into the left / right corners and sides...

    Do you agree the Windows 8.1 Start Button is a Joke?

    Have a dual-boot laptop with Windows 7/8. No touch-screen. On it, I almost never booted to Windows 8. The navigation seemed forced. And the Metro interface was intimidating... in that the apps are apparently disorganized. Compared to Windows 7, they just seemed strewn all over the place. Enter...

    Which Windows tablet do you own?

    originally purchased a 8" WinBook TW802 Tablet even though i read the reviews beforehand about quality. I just chalked it up to their bad luck. Maybe it was... dunno. All I know is that the power jack started to get loose, after a month. Yes, I could take it for a replacement, but my data is on...

    keyboard window resize snap

    yes. with a smallish tablet, it seems to be more of a problem. as the on-screen keyboard buttons are proportionally smaller. i posted this originally when using a 8" screen tablet. the temporary workaround, for me, is to switch to a bigger tablet. On a 10.9" at present, and finding the...

    keyboard window resize snap

    I'm realizing now that this 'resize snap' thing is worse than thought of originally. I'm seeing once in a while all of my desktop icons bunched up into the top half of the desktop. Don't know for sure, but suspecting that they are being moved by the same process....
