Another feel good story.

They were drop outs.

Do you know or have any interesting stories about people you know that succeeded without finishing school?.

Windows 8 sucks. Microsoft to replace Internet Explorer with new browser

Windows 8 sucks. Microsoft to replace Internet Explorer with new browser

Been spending hours trying to figure it out. Damn, I bought a new laptop to improve the speed and my productivity but it ain't happening.

Who was the Einstein that decided to get rid of the start button?.

You're not alone Lorenzo. Do a search and there are a bunch of tutorials that show how to make Windows 8 look and act like Windows 7.
