    Windows 8.1 first look: Finally, Windows the way you want

    How do programs like Classic Shell and Start8 work with 8.1? I'm assuming one would have to disable their start buttons now 8.1 has one but will pressing the Windows key on the keyboard bring up the start menu if either of these are installed?

    My office IMAP server fails the Test Account stage of setup and so I can't add it to Outlook 2013. I had to re-install 2010 and "upgrade" They really need to bring back the option to skip the test ASAP. You can skip the test on a POP3 account but not IMAP
