Please fire the person in Microsoft that thought the charms thing is ok

I agree. Their UI designs have been ranging from weird to downright unintuitive since about a while now. Ribbons (controversial, but I despise it), removal of start button (WTF), SCREAMING MENU ITEMS in VS, the colour scheme of VS (makes my eyes bleed), and things like what you pointed out. Someone at MS really hasn't taken into account that it's the small things that matter.

I agree with you completely. BTW there's a way to revert the VS 2012 menus to regular capitalization: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/zainnab/archive/2012/06/14/turn-off-the-uppercase-menu-in-visual-studio-2012.aspx

I hear people say Win 8 isn't bad, it's good once you get used to it... bla bla bla. :doh: Well, I'm still unconvinced and still happy with Win 7
I tried to like Win8. Came on a new notebook. Gave up when some programs wouldn't run in Win8. Put Win7 on. Good luck trying to find the Win7 drivers for a machine "designed specially for Windows 8"! Yes, it uses components that are Win7 compatible, but there's no explicit support for Win7, as if they couldn't have predicted the backlash. Sure, you can still find new notebooks with Win7, but the specs aren't the best.

Thank you, that will make it a lot better. :)

Windows 8 and windows phone 8 continue to gain market share and have yet to have a downward trend.
And by gain market share you mean that it is even worse than Vista? http://www.zdnet.com/windows-8-continues-to-fail-7000016222/[^] I have a Windows Phone sitting nicely in my desk. I use my iPhone instead as it is more user friendly. I do develop in Windows and think it is great. They just messed it up with this one in particular.

Anything that someone does not know how to use is less user friendly. No old age population finds iphones friendly, but windows 8 continues to be picked up by people that have never had a cell phone, and comment if it wasn't for windows 8 I would never get into technology.

And here you go again with a misconception. You write: "Anything that someone does not know how to use is less user friendly." But instead it should be something like: "Anything that is not intuitive enough for someone that does not know how to use it, and if feels unnatural to learn is less user friendly." I think the last sentence was not user friendly. I like better "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" :) Case in point: my 2 year old toddler works the iPad up and down like an extension of her arm. Gave her the my Surface and Galaxy and she basically just asked for the iPad. And not because she is a toddler. This is common on all ages when introduced to technology.

If you already learn a way of doing something as long as you are faced with a device that is different then the way you are used to - you will be confronted with what you think is bullshit.

Windows 8 would be the most beautiful thing in the world if it wasn't called windows and didn't support the desktop.

I own a tv mounting company, a tv repair company which is the factory warranty repair center for all television brands I am internationally known, a real estate software company, Unidex software a company devoted to making software that competes with sql - it recently created 5 million records an hour. If you wish to send a package to that location you are more then welcome, but I own over 14,000 acres added up from close to 50 properties spread across Canada, Including 2 strip malls. Senselessness only comes from those not welling to understand.

Oh so you inherited your money! That was easy! Now go code, Mr Cable Guy. Isn't that what you are trying to do, learn, but instead you are just a lurker that adds no value?

10 years of school, Always learn. There is no need for lurking when you have windows 8 it notifies you of every change, as long as you know how to control it.
