BTFKT swish

Whenever somebody tells me to swish, I **** off. I am so ****ed off at
what Windows 8 calls a swish. Every time I go to the right edge of my
screen, I get important menus that I DO NOT want to see right now. I AIM
for the scroll bar. I stop there. I get something like the control
panel. Sometimes, though, my mouse is in the middle of the screen. I
didn't swish, whatever the **** that means. I didn't do anything, but my
control panel is open. I did not want to see it. For what it's worth,
I'm not using a mouse. I'm using a touch pad.

Do you have a question?

Over the last few months that I since I got Windows8/8.1, I have been
able to turn off all of that garbage, and now have a nice working
system. It has been some weeks but I believe that is caused by
something call snap. Comb through the items in that show when you right
click the MS Icon in the lower right of the desktop and you will find it.

There are also some useable items when you right click the toolbar in
the Desktop. The best is to be able to boot directly to the desktop,
and you get rid of many of the Windows 8 irritations.

Feel better after you vented here?

There are *.test newsgroups where you can post your diatribes.

Considering the nym you chose, you really do like swishing in Windows 8
because, according to your nym, your post is bogus.

Windows 8 has a "swipe".

I don't think you really meant "swish" :-)
That's something different.

I hear Windows 9 will have a "grope". I was
expecting a fairly dull definition here, but
I did learn something new today.

My thought: with its two interfaces, Modern and Desktop, Windows 8.x
might be considered hermaphroditic.

So maybe swish is what gets your from one interface to the other?

If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate to remove the 'swish' app. It rarely
gets high ratings.
