Well took the plunge and installed 8.1 against better judgement, because for the first time i hesitated to do so.
True you have small tiles and medium tiles, but for me the medium tiles should be the large one and the medium should be half of wat is now.
i see the small times compared to medium as 1:4.
with the midmouse click i had apps immediatly, being on the desktop or start menu, that is gone. Now i get search instead.
Yes one can get easy to the apps from the start menu, but since one is STILL ALWAYS redirected to the desktop that is no longer possible. When forced to the desktop, need to go to the Start Menu, then one can click on the Arrow to get to the APPS.......MY GOD....really simple...
I mean you do not have that on the desktop.
I really was convinced that it was possible to "disable" the dekstop or not use it, but this seems impossible.
But if it can be done, please tell me what i do wrong.
So right now i fail to see the bonus 8.1 offers, besides opening file explorer which is better.
Right now Decor8 from Stardock is NOT working, but i will reinstall this to see if that helps.
Modernmix works.
Did reinstall it, but no, so mailed Stardock.
I feel MS could have made a better job then what they did now.
Any thoughts to make me change my mind are appreciated.
