I'm done. You're obviously not understanding me. I don't want links, I don't want "aps" either, I want something inbetween that is an interactive, customizable tile. Christ... On another note, whats with not being able to create a folder when saving a file?

I fully explained before what my problem was with the tiles. You think you gave me solutions... you didn't. What you "solved" I'd already done. I know how to pin hotlinks to my desktop, that was never my problem... ever. I also know that through Chrome there's an option to do the same, but it's...

And I never once expected that. I complained that, rather than be able to make a tile with interactive notifications and live feed information, I instead could only make an inanimate shortcut. Your solution does the exact same thing, simply makes a shortcut. With Windows 8 I was expecting more...

Here's an example of the incomplete feeling of this OS. I'm on desktop view, looking at music, and I think "let me check this online" so I go to start, which instead opens the start screen, where my browser is launched as an app, not as the browser fully. So I open youtube there, play the song...

I'll go over this once more so you get the jist, you seem to be having some trouble with this one. I saw the Windows 8 commercials and got this from it "Put all of your favorite rubbish in tiles that are personalized and customizable, making your hopepage truly yours". So... me, being naive...

Virtually... so not everything. So there are things 7 could do that 8 s failing to do. And... what's that? It has Metro!? Oh please hold while I jump for joy!! Somebody has ripped my start bar off Windows 7 and replaced it with a cumbersome start page! Now I can die happy...

I'm saying why wasn't there an option to make it so. Why did I instead have to use a bookmark. I wasn't expecting the bookmark to do anything, because I didn't expect to have to use a bookmark. "when you use IE" so you're telling me Windows 8 will only work properly if I use IE? Not Chrome...

Dude look... if I went out tomorrow and spent money on a new mac, because I'm a fan of the phones, and when it arived it's screen looked like this: And the only apps I could really get on it, other than butchered hotlinks and bookmarks I pulled up myself, were from the apple marketplace. I...

There's a vital difference here. If you use your browser from the desktop and open the media there, it will continue to play. If you, however, open your browser through the app in the start screen, it opens as an app, and will close when minimized. That is my problem, not the desktop version. As...

I'm not confusing apps with static tiles, such as bookmarks. I'm saying that bookmarks are DECADES old, and that by now if I want to pin a website to my home screen it should come with a little more than a grayed out icon of my internet browser as the tile face! Windows 8 is tile based...

Please, go to your start screen and right click on your internet browser tab. Tell me where the "advanced functionality" is there. Windows 8 is the proverbial butterknife, and most of the computing audience are surgeons, or at least nurses. I feel as though I can't do anything in Windows 8...

Precisely, that technology is 3 years old on handheld devices. My PC should be able to do more, and can do more on any other Operating System. I don't want my apps suspended, if i didn't want them running I'd close them. My probelm isn't really that youtube specifically halts when minimized...

It hasn't ever worked before, but I haven't ever had tiles before. I wanted to get into the tile options, and perhaps change the tile settings. Tile settings is vital to me, and vital to this OS even being successful I have a Facebook tile right now that is a chrome bookmark. I can't change it...

Operating systems have been able to handle tens of programs, all running at the same time, for years. Phones on the other hand have the ability to only really run one, and you have to close out of that one to open another. When IOS 4.0 was released you could tab between open windows on the...

An hour later, still stuck on the splash screen diagnosing pc. Think it's time to reinstall .

So basically they dummed down the OS to make it like the phone and RT versions?

I'd love to respond to your messages, but figuring my is was an old build, I decided to update it, as the updater told me I had some pending. Now I'm staring at the windows splash screen as it "diagnoses my PC" after crashing several times on startup. If I knew how to clean install I would...

Agreed. I found one thing that was... almost useful, in that through Chrome you can pin website shortcuts to your start menu. This is far, far less than what I expected though as I had imagined a live tile, fully incorporated by Facebook, that blinks or gets a +1 when you have a notification...

After some time playing I'm now finding more things I dislike. The ability to have more than one window open at a time, such as reducing the size and having them side by side on the screen, is not possible unless you get out onto the desktop version, where you can't access your apps, and is...

It's been 2 days now since I completed my hellish install of Windows 8 (which, itself, took 2 days) and I'm now just getting round to playing with some of the features. Sure it's clean, nice, fancy... all of that, but there's one overwhelming issue that I just can't quite put my finger on and...
