The start menu is the new start screen. They even got the 'button' back for those who had a strong love relationship with it. If somebody really wants Windows 7 part 2, they better not install windows 8 in the forst place.
While far from perfect, the new start screen is just fine, if not better than the old one.
What in the start menu of Windows 8.1 do you miss so much ?

LMAO. So that's the purpose of PC
To start with, can we just term it right?? Its a start "button" and not a start "menu" (like in earlier windows)

Thats why they call it Windows 8.
What do you find more difficult about the Win 8 start screen as compared to the Win 7 start menu?

what he said wrong ??
He says having unnecessary apps slows performance of Windows 8.1.
I never faced anything like that. Having unnecessary apps does not punch a hole in the performance. But running unnecessary apps does. Thats what i was trying to mean
What I understood from what he delivers. May be he is trying to say something else

I figured it out.
Solved Windows 8 upgrade error:"We can't connect right now..." - Page 2
The error was showing because I was given a blocked key. Then when I run the setup using another key, its all fine. Thanks.

i am buying a new laptop this month, and the options i have considered come with Win 8. Due to UEFI, i wont be able to dual boot it with ubuntu. what i want to know is:
1. will i be able to uninstall win 8 and install win 7 and then dual boot with ubuntu? if yes, will i be able to install drivers easily on win 7
2. or is there any other way to install ubuntu along with win 8?
there are a few laptops in the market that come with no OS, but the specs are old and not up to the mark with the ones with win 8.

Guys I'm getting bsod on 8.1. On searching the internet I found networx is the culprit. Is there any alternative to networx? That works as similar to networx?

I don't know about it's alternatives but at least report the problems to the development team.

I think the developers have acknowledged the problem, their solution is to install a third party network Driver and use that Driver instead of networx built in Driver.
