I'm not sure, but doesn't that go back to the start page? (I have win 7 at work, so I can't try it)
That has the same result in every version of windows. Whatever app has the focus Alt-F4 will close. If the desktop has focus or no apps are running pressing alt-f4 will shut the machine down

I'm not talking about listening to developers, but about providing a sensible production environment to developers.

Wow. Just wow. Please stick to the facts.

Thats their official statement, and I'm even inclined to believe them, but it won't help if the US court decides against them. The US court has shown remarkably consistency in its utterly insane decisions regarding privacy and software in general, so I wouldn't be holding my breath on that one.

BS. UK and Germany are both allies, and keen on strong economical relations. If anything, they've been using Windows before in spite of the cost. In China, MS sells Windows for next to nothing, just to ensure there's a solid user base for Office and other products which are the real cash cows.

the productivity of Windows 8 on the desktop is tenfold over any other system
BS. The vast majority of developers oppose that statement, and even official MS sources admitted to most of the failures I'v pointed out before. Just look at the W9 preview.

Aka listening to developers Are you saying that Android does not have 90% of the global cell market share? If you don't understand the concept of nationalism what is the point of arguing with you the politics of said concept? Considering I use a multi monitor desktop, every other operating system forces me to interact with the primary monitor Windows 8 thanks to the charms bar allows users to interact with any monitor while the primary monitor is taken by a full screen app. There are a million reasons why I can live life 1000 times more productive with Windows 8 then anything else - that is a fact.

If that is what you call a fact, there is nothing left to discuss. :doh:

Anything that someone derives meaning from and is explained by that person - is a fact by definition
