This was the politest way I had of saying I ached just the tiniest bit after my first Krav Maga class last night. The actual fighting was great - the head instructor and myself enjoyed a bit of Muay Thai sparring to demonstrate some things to my other fellow recruits, and it was good to be able to put some of that to use after 20 years.

Just wondering if you have extropolated the expected date of when the 10 Million member signs up - it would also be interesting to know how accurate you are with your prediction when the time cones too.

|
|
I'm not sure if we have extrapolated the exact date. But maybe I'll dig around and see if we have an "official date"... then we can start taking bets

If you double click the top or bottom of a window which you have the Up-Down arrow cursor, it snaps to full height, without affecting the width. Nice!
Unfortunately, it doesn't work for the sides...ho hum.

That's great and an example of incomplete coding. Reminds me of the Left vs. Right Twix commercial.

If MS made a chocolate bar it would probably have excellent chocolate outside, and a breezeblock in the center... 
Then in version 8 they would replace the chocolate with marmite / vegemite - but make the breezeblock smaller.

I like Win 8, it's a must with a touch screen (unless you're running iOS or Android already, obviously!)

Are you saying that this is a bug? This is an advertised feature of Win7, it doesn't do it in the horizontal because of the way the desktop resolution is managed (expand on one display or entire desktop? This requires a question, so it isn't implemented).
|
|
|
|
|
Ummm no. While desktop expansion might be horizontal by default, many of us, myself included, use vertically stacked monitors to expand the desktop.

I stack my monitors diagonally. 
|

|
I find I have less problems if the monitor with my e-mail client is stacked facing away from me.

Not a bug, an incomplete feature. They could always allow you to double-click to fill the screen sideways, then double-click again to expand in the same direction to the next monitor. Having multiple monitors is not the end of the world.

I've known about it but I rarely use it. Instead, I use the drag onto/off of the top of the screen (maximize and restore). As well as Win+Left/Right/Up/Down to move windows around. 
djj55: Nice but may have a permission problem
Pete O'Hanlon: He has my permission to run it.

If you didn't know about that one, do you know if you grab a window by the title bar and shake it with your mouse, all the other windows minimize? 
|
|
|
|
|
Just tried it in Win 8. Damn! I did not know that. Useless I think since I prefer the show desktop (Alt+Tab or shortcut) version better.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. That feature dates back to the window manager they introduced in Vista. Basically it does the same thing as the MacOS maximize button.
Double-click the top/bottom border for Mac-style maximize. Double-click the actual titlebar for a Windows-style maximize, the same way it's always been.

Not sure if I understand exactly what you are trying to do. But try Windows Key + Left Arrow and Windows Key + Right Arrow on a non maximised window.

No, those are really handy (particularly when copying files around), but that fills that half of the screen with the window. The equivalent of this would make the window full width, but leave the height unchanged.

Unfortunately, I have already moved on to Windows 8. Have yet to discover something nice about that...

LOL  - The first time I started up Windows 8 and saw the Metro UI, I had to ask one of my colleagues (who had had it slightly longer) how to get into the normal desktop. MS FAIL if you ask me (which you didn't of course)!
