Frankenstein 8.1 is ready for pre-order

Installed applications don't dump all over the Start Page (which I don't really use but anyway). Things are tightened and tweaked better. And I can still uninstall (or unpin) all the Metro "apps". As an NT system, Windows 8.1 works fine here and I can tweak it to the way I want it. WireTalk -- Are you Christian? But stumbling online?

The thing that bugged me most is fixed (Start Button). As I said in a message in a different newsgroup, I completely disagree. I think the differences between Windows 8 and 8.1 are minor and they are almost the same. Yes, they put the Start orb back in 8.1, but it certainly isn't fixed. It does only a fraction of what the Windows 7 Start orb does. If you really want the old Start orb back, you still need a third-party program such as the free Classic Shell, or the very inexpensive ($4.99 US) Start8, which as far as I'm concerned, is even better and worth the small cost. -- Ken Blake

I used Start8 with Windows 8.0, but haven't bothered with Windows 8.1. With Windows 8.1, I simply use the built in Start Button to get straight to the Apps Page which I've learned how to customize a bit. WireTalk -- Are you Christian? But stumbling online?
