The world as I have known it is fading faster than I am. Although after more than 30 years, memories grow fuzzy, I do remember life BCE (Before Computer Era) and I may yet know life AW (After Windows). The main challenge will be running my existing Word and Photoshop software in Linux.

Also, Ubuntu has some of the same problems as Windows. When I installed the latest version a few months ago, it lacked most of the customization options earlier versions had.

Hmm. Maybe I'll opt for life ACE (After Computer Era). Use the telephone, Put stamps on messages worth conveying, and write on paper with a pen. Read paper book. Use a small hand calculator when necessary and actually go to the bank. Abandon Facebook and spend in nature again. Can you imagine this? I can!

Hopefully they'll add back the start button.

Microsoft says no comment on Windows Blue and all journalist are all writing their own idea of what can be. Nobody know until Microsoft decides to tell us. A page from Apple book. So stop speculating to see what sticks to the wall with all those crazy ideas. No desktop? LOL

To all those morans that have not use Windows 8. You do not need touch to run Windows 8. You start you PC, sign in with your keyboad (unless you want to use the picture password). When it opens, click with your mouse the Desktop tile. Now you are in the desktop with all your programs (note not Apps) as a shortcut or in the taskbar ( just like in your Windows XP, Vista, 7) and bang away at the keyboad and mouse as your heart content.

And you only have to do this once and your desktop will always be up when you reboot ?

Like i said it is Microsoft's way or the highway !

I wonder if Windows Blue will have the same problem that XP, Vista, 7 and 8 have; Explorer.exe does not officially support file path lengths larger than 255 characters. This is highly annoying when dealing with nested folders in My Documents and other situations. I use Total Commander to take care of business.
NTFS supports file path lengths of up to around 30,000 characters so why is explorer.exe use/have APIs that are back in the stone age of computing?

Please reinstate the start button.
The procedure for opening and closing is now very clumsy.

Your correct, the tablets and all the other social media devices that you young generations are now using will eventually fad once that generation grows older and realized that they’re going to be needed productive type of system devices for their careers to be productive and that device they will be needed will not be there for them, and so, It will be costly
