I’ve started work on the Windows 8 Tweak Guide
Windows 8 has proven to be, well, um, lets just say it has gotten mixed reviews. 😉
I really wasn’t sure if I was going to do a Windows 8 Tweak Guide. But, so many folks asked for one I’ve decided to go ahead with it.

Notes:

Yes, I like it.
And yes, IMHO better than Windows 7*. But, it takes some getting used to and tweaking.

Merry Christmas!
I hope this holiday season is a safe, peaceful, and joyous one for all.
Merry Christmas!
