I'll search help files & Google for you.

Source code is like a joke.
If you have to explain it, then it's not funny.

Jeff,

> I don't see any scroll bars on it

They're extra... the upgrade, however, is free!

This article in the link seems to be accurate as my Win 7 machine is
displaying the same icon.

I still find it hard to believe there won't be some sort of catch that
will bite us in the a**.

Sorry, you can't retire yet! I've had the preview in a VM since day
one and that's where it will remain. I will hold on to my Win7/pro
desktop for a long while to come!

I've been using it for production for several months and cannot fault that
part. Overall it seems to work like 7 without the warts of the 8's.

Overall I'll stick with 7 and skip the warts, lack of options and
disappearing scrollbars!<g>

MS has a bad history of fixing one thing and destroying others. It was
a valiant effort but I'll wait until corporate America gets them to
fix the problems they've introduced in the guise of improvements.

I know where things are in 7 and how to change them to fit MY way of
working as opposed to being shoehorned into what MS says I need!<g>

Hi Lee,

About a year ago I bought a new laptop that came with 8.1 I bought
Start8 from StarDoc (makers of Fences etc. -
http://www.stardock.com/products/) and haven't looked back. Upgraded my
development machine to 8.1 in September/October, also with Start8. I
run two other machines using Windows 7 and I can't say that I have any
problems going from one machine to the other.

Best regards,

Already done that and I must admit, I am enjoying the heck out of it. I
am now in the process of discharging items from my *bucket list*.
Attached is the one I've been wanting for a very long time. Now I have
it and the time to enjoy it.
