    Perhaps, we are saying the same thing.

    There's an Office 15.0 (Office 2013) key located inside ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\RetailDemo\Office\InstallOffice.bat.
    It's obviously for the Retail Demo mode, but might work for a regular Office 2013 installation?
    Haven't tried yet.

    Guys, that's exactly my point!!
    There shouldn't be two separated "Settings" panels!!
    MS should have consolidated all of these settings into one single Control Panel / Settings Panel.

    I think that is going to happen sooner or later.

    I think it's a lot of work to migrate all the settings from Control Panel to the new Settings app, so it only can be a staged process. And because of backward compatibility, the old Control Panel is likely to stay for a long time. It's still more powerful than the Settings app for many things because a lot of the options in Settings are dumbed down (and therefore the links to Control Panel).

    A disappointing "finding": windows.edb (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows), which is the indexing file that infamously grew to Godzilla-sized proportions in Win81 (but was supposedly tamed by a a patch 2 years ago), is still massive. 750MB on one PC, 1.7GB on another.

    On the first machine, re-indexing only reduced it to 575MB. It's a good thing that I'm only selectively indexing or it would be far worse.

    sorry but you're missing the point, the crowd didn't need the immersive panel and tiles,
    for tablet that's okay but it's true, on a desktop it still don't makes sense.
    it's only causing unnecessary clicks to reach a destination ...
    about the looks, better than 8/8.1 but still a little bit frankenstein design.
    I wish they made this xaml stuff conditional for tabletts.

    Metro someday will be better and make sense
    its just new concept its take time

    in term of performance it's much Liter then desktop application and more simplified.

    that what ppls said on gui when they use DOS OS
    but it might not find the way we all waiting for.

    BTW, Im still perferring windows 7 not metro fan yet :)

    Windows 10 is not only forcing updates and system file modification, it it also removing the apps "Microsoft Doesn't like"
    As a new update was pushed for me, my classic calculator was replaced with a shortcut for the stupid crappy modern one, which I dislike and I do not want to be forced to use it, seriously...
