Answer 13

Well, I jsut asked the dev team if they have it mime mapped.

Answer 14

They have the mime setting in the server, so it is not that the proper info is not hosted. Sounds like a client side issue then.

Answer 17

Answer 19

Also Windows 8 sucks.. I don't know why they are forcing everyone to change. I like Windows 7 :)

Answer 20

I love it. It is great for multitasking; if you have a touch screen.

Answer 21

You are welcome. :-)

Answer 22

:)

Answer 23

@zzr0ck3r It is a horror for business use, expecially if you have a lot of legacy applications, like most bisnesses do... where they also do not have touch screens.

They made a phone/tablet OS and tried to shove it down everyone's throats. That was an idiotic move. They really should have made Metro an option that was defaulted on for devices with a touch screen and off for things without.

Answer 24

I use a mac air for anything business/school related (not studying). I love my windows laptop for entertainment, and studying. I love being able to easily have multiple things on a screen (snap to screen function), and you simply cant do that with a mac. I got sort of lucky. I bought a new pc and then my school game me a mac. And it is very nice having both. I really don't run any programs outside of tek and vlc. The ability to connect to my tv through widi is also great. I am pretty sure you have to buy separate stuff if you want to do that with a mac. Gun to my head I would buy a mac if I could only have one, for reliability and battery life. But both is great.

Answer 25

Answer 26

Might have a missing plugin...
