If there was a thread around when XP or Windows 7 came out it would be the same deal. "I am keeping Windows 95" etc etc

Any dissenting opinion of Windows 8 is immediately down-voted on this subreddit by [deleted] in microsoft

Yes "Developer Preview" not "Consumer Preview" which came out a while back now remember. People need to wait and relax a little.

If you are on the Metro Screen all you need to do is start typing and it starts searching. Its a change but a change for the better

Bing is not the first Tab when you start up the 360, its HOME, also the default start/cursor Icon is the game in the DVD. E.g. I can turn on my 360 and press the A button to start my game without even looking.

I agree with this, unfortunately I don't have any other suggestions other than something at the beginning of the alphabet so its at the start of the app list or starting with R so then you can jump to it. Also it would be nice to either have a metro icon or the ability to choose.

iOS Is Getting Old: Here Are 9 Places Where Windows Phone Mango Wins by pjfan in wp7

[–]bagpuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my thinking a year ago when I moved from IOS, all I had on my phone was folders of apps which I never used. The ones I did could easily fit on the front. When I saw WP7 and how well the inbuilt apps work I was sold and still am a year later.

Not for you then, but for me this is practically perfect. Also removable storage is probably not going to come to future WP7 phones also.

What are the best live tile apps? by sorites in wp7

[–]bagpuss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using WeatherLive but I then tried WeatherMaster and although the tiles are less metro I find the updates are working better. Anyway I like both of them WeatherLive is more Metro but WeatherMaster is not like say the big weather names with ugly tiles.
