pcdoc 114 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The dual (or triple) monitor guys are going to get hosed with this release. Look forward to SP1 Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Actually, mine is configured, somehow, to have one monitor bring up the desktop and one goes to the "Metro" interface. BTW, I read yesterday where someone is going to sue over the use of the name "Metro". Link to post Share on other sites

MS could have named it *()&(_*^&$R*()#&*()$&*)%U#()U()# and somebody would sue - just a money grab, or at least an attempt. Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Success...I guess it just took the second reboot to take effect. Link to post Share on other sites

Joe_Miner 254 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 The dual (or triple) monitor guys are going to get hosed with this release. Look forward to SP1 Dual monitor via remote desktop isn't quite as bad -- I'm wondering if when their short term upgrad offer is available that we could get upgrade keys for all our machines and then wait till SP1 to actually install them. Probably something wrong with my idea (or maybe it's the 3 glasses of wine). Link to post Share on other sites
jmwills 284 Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Aeh.....what's that you say...you need SpinRite? Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Wouldn't it be hilarious if SpinRite could get around the Metro desktop issue? OK, as impossible as that is, I would not put it past Steve to figure out a way to get around Metro and create a tiny, free utility to do it for us - he puts out a lot of free stuff.

Joe_Miner 254 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Does he still update his website? Last I looked he had a thing for that new operating system XP. Link to post Share on other sites
