    it may be more optimized. the difference for 8's speed isn't optimisation.

    simply "start" was always "open" and "hidden". whereas win 7 had to load this whole graphic dodad with tons of elements depending on a lot of stuff. plus gorgeous extra circle and aura cutout to overflow from the task bar .....it was just very costly.

    perfect. that is what is needed. that is the synaptic approach to a desktop.

    It could be possible they do that now with the regular start button? The start button does still fit the windows 8 aesthetic of simplistic and geometric.

    sure but as I said it's costy. I wouldn't want it.

    Little extra thing, this is the new alt+tab as well as windows+tab (Select which desktop you want)

    Just so you know.. You can have a loooot of desktops, so many it actually goes off the screen... Though that's a bit counter-intuitive. x3

    (sighhh welp... I can add that to my, still open for edits, long list of things windows did get to in the end)

    can you click and drag (and ..well generally click the windows in the minitures of the dektop ...to move them from one to another? are there keyboard shortcuts for this? in virtuaWin and linux it's ctrl-alt-arrow to change desktop and ctr-alt-shift-arrow to move selected window. is moving between desktops animated?)

    Okay, ctrl-alt-arrow flips the screen...! Windows key arrow moves the selected application/window to the respective area (Take up right half of the screen, or become a little box in the bottom left corner, etc...) there is no animation when switching desktops, which is a bit jarring, and I don't know if you can move applications from one desktop to another or not. I'll have to figure it out as I go! x3

    Personally I feel a grand is way too much to pay for PA. PA should actually pay me to play it, otherwise what is kickstarter for? Am I right guys? Also Uber please nerf Squishy, too much pon.
