Yes, you can make windows 8 look exactly like windows 7. That being said, there is no advantage to upgrading to windows 8.

Win 8 is not terrible.. but teaching a old dog new tricks... blah.

Server 2012 is like it.. mostly functions the same way.. just the access points to get to things have changed to piss with you. Functions have changed or the interface doesn't always support functions like in the past.

The only part I really embrace.. I don't have to use the Exchange management shell as much.

Have 7 at work and 8.1 at home.... after you get used to it and adjust no difference for me. I will take the free 10 upgrade without a doubt. The big reason to upgrade for me is the security updates that close holes in each operating system's version.

For whatever reason, I am super excited about 10. Though, I can't figure out why they removed DVD Player software from 10...

I am an expired MCSE and I still can't get 8 to work right. You people are indoctrinated or something.

I know it's a shell, but when your computer will not allow you to even login, you can't fix anything on that computer... you gotta go to another one. Incredible, losing your computer password on an intermittent basis. It's not this Dell, (my gift to wife) this fucker runs just fine. It's high-end.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Golden with two TDs in red zone drills today

Mucky Tundra (12h) : @JacobMorley Shoutout to Quinn Ewers for allowing Matthew Golden to be available when Green Bay picked.

Zero2Cool (16h) : The menu you expanded to log in, it's the first icon under "PackersHome" .. maybe i should add text to it

dfosterf (16h) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes

Zero2Cool (16h) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon

dfosterf (16h) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (16h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (16h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (17h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (17h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (17h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (17h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (17h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (17h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (17h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (17h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (17h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (18h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (18h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (18h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (18h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (18h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (18h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (18h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (18h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (18h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (18h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (27-Jul) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
