Asrokhel Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Two emails explain foundation of the new operating system. Consumers who set up a Windows 8-powered tablet or PC using a Microsoft account will receive two e-mails with tips and tricks on using the just-launched operating system. The first e-mail, entitled "Getting Started with Windows," offers advice on utilizing the OS' revamped Start screen through a brief description of Live Tiles. Elsewhere, another section explains the different charms situated in the Charms bar. Two other sections tells users how to switch between or view several Windows 8 applications. Each section displays a "Learn more" or "Discover more" link where users can find more details on the operating system, accompanied by a how-to video relating to a given feature on Microsoft's website. The second e-mail, meanwhile, is dubbed "Personalize your Windows". It shows users how to customize their Start screen, download new apps from the Windows store, work with built-in apps and create a picture password. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Microsoft-Windows-8-Emails-Tutorial,news-16277.html oliver182 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelar Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I like how I got an email from Outlook.com stating that they are working hard to keep my inbox clean and then the next 10 emails I have are crap from Microsoft that I've never read. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahhell Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Like what? For example, how to close an app on Surface (swipe from the top of the screen to the bottom works with a mouse too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I unsubscribed. These "learn the basics" newsletters are too elementary, if I want to learn how to do something I just go directly to Google anyways. For example, how to close an app on Surface (swipe from the top of the screen to the bottom works with a mouse too). then you obviously didn't spend enough time on Neowin :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted November 9, 2012 Member Share Posted November 9, 2012 This is probably a good thing for the noobs. It's not helpful to most of us here who are somewhat experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
