Features removed in Windows 8

[articuno1au]

I've said my piece. I clearly object to the way this thread was written, not to the content.

I leave it in the hands of the moderator staff.

Also: It was peaceful afters the mods came through and deleted about 30 posts, but sure; sticking to the facts hasn't been something you have tried thus far.

Thanks for the list. I will miss some of these items. I find many of them very useful, and its not clear how, and if, the functionality will be replaced.

So, you expect Microsoft to:

- code twice as much to maintain to different shell and start menus

- maintain two different launch paradigms, and provide developers with two different ways to manage their apps on windows, when one does it Bette

- make everhing slower with twice as much code

- four times as much debug as twice as much code results in four times the debug.

- at least four times as much QnA for the same reason as debug.

For what, to have an old start menu for absolutely no reason except making stuff slower and wasting both ms and other devs resources?

No I expect MS to come up with stuff that works uniformly all over. Or else, not mess with stuff that does.And btw, just having code in there doesn not make things slower in any way. Code that is not being executed does not affect performance in any way.

Up until some fanboys some people who don't agree with me that windows 8 sucks arrived this was a peaceful post and they managed to turn it into an inflammatory and accusatory post and then blaming me of FUD and what not for posting a list in the fear that people may read the list and not upgrade.

That's what you actually meant.

your OP was inflammatory flamebait, it's not a bare fact listing of things missing, it's your spin on things you don't think should be this way spun in a negative way. not bare facts, not objective.

And as I have said before, a lot of them aren't even things that have been remove,d but things that have merely been, changed, improved and/or upgraded. And things that are merely beta placeholders. and things that are simply new features. which is not something that has been removed by any meaning of the word.

So basically what you meant was that "Until my flamebait targets arrived, me and my other Win8 trolls had a good time talking about how crap win 8 is".

Whenever you want to, feel free to start a neutral and objective and intelligent discussion about changes in windows 8, THIS however, is not it.

Not a coder I see, or someone who has a clue how code works.

It's like saying that Extra off Ramp 29, that forces my intended offramp 30 to be 200 meters further off isn't affecting my driving distance at all.

Yeah this has taken up far too much time and effort to keep derailing. Second chance failed. Let it go.
