Oh, please! Stop complaining and just type...

It may be reasonable the "frustration" of some folks when Windows 8 starts and all they see is precisely that, The Start Screen laid out with nicely arranged dynamic tiles. Some still want to see the old desktop that existed up until Windows 7 and that had been around since Windows 95. Guess what? Just start typing and you will get to where you want to go. For instance, do you want the control panel? All right, then start typing "control" and you'll see on the right hand side the Windows 8 SEARCH feature (shown here) that will instantly drill down Apps, Settings and Files to find what you are looking for. At the left hand side (not shown) you will see the search results in the forms of icons and, if the application, setting or file you need is highlighted just hit Enter or click on the corresponding icon. I have explained before, in addition to this neat search feature (that is way better than the old start button), how to use the Windows Key and switch between Metro and Desktop and also challenged my readers asking What do you need the Start button for? Hope this post helps new users and gives a break to "frustrated" would-be users of this great OS.
