Win X makes it easy with the shortcuts to move Windows to half the screen, using Winkey + store keys. Having large enough widescreen monitors (only 23”, but @ 1900 * 1280 resolution) I can easily have 4 items spaced evenly across both my monitors.

I *think* the shortcuts were there in win 8, also, cannot remember if they were in win 7....

Thanks, John.

I didn't stay with Windows 8.x long enough to remember much about it, except that you had one or two gazillion tiles/shortcuts on the start screen.

Lol. Neither did I, and particularly for that reason.

I remove all tiles on WinX and have start look like a modern version of the Win7 start (I even collapse the start window to the edge of the application list), and I still use the KB to find my apps that I don't have pinned to the taskbar.

Which makes it easy to, say, run disk cleanup (win key --> type clean) or CMD and then run said app as admin....

I went to that page a couple times, didn't see anything, then just went back and am told:

Update: Except that the post was taken down. It was a screenshot of winver showing that build.

Cannot load tweet

I tried to find it in the Twitter app manually - it's not there. IOW, they deleted that tweet.

So, hmmmmmmmmm....

Same here! I haven't done that yet on this clean install, but will probably do it on the next Build, if we ever get one.

Yep, just start typing ...

I do it on every clean install. I hate tiles. With a passion.

I also uninstall many apps that I never plan on using.... Like the games....
