... If not using a touch screen, moving the mouse full left or right scrolls the start screen in the corresponding direction. I know, but not quite what I meant. The "first" start screen you see (when pressing Winkey) is different to the "all programs" menu you see when you press Winkey, right-click, then press All Apps. |

And my point was one doesn't need to access 'All Apps' unless necessary (i.e. app may not configured to be on the Start Screen)
since the screen scrolls left or right (touch or mouse). -- ....winston msft mvp mail "Mr Simon" wrote in message ... "...winston" wrote in message ...

I'm never in favor of waiting for a Service Pack. The point in time when a service pack is released is at the discretion of Microsoft and is completely arbitrary. Upgrades and fixes to any version of Windows are released when needed--once a month, normally, but more often when necessary. At some arbitrary point, Microsoft decides to roll up all those upgrades and fixes into one package and calls the result a service pack. There's no particular significance to when that service pack is released, and it doesn't mark a special point of stability. There were upgrades before it and there will be more upgrades after it. Since it has no particular significance, treating it as a special event, and waiting for it, is meaningless. Well, I suppose if you are running two computers and so can afford to have crashes and compatibility issues cramp your working day on the one running the new OS, that's fine. However, back in the real world, taking on a system that is released when it's still buggy so that "the community" can do the product testing is not something I can afford to do. I have used Microsoft products since waaay back and find that the release of Service Pack 2, though apparently arbitrary, is pretty much as early as I was to get involved. -- Brian "Fight like the Devil, die like a gentleman." |
