Boot to classic desktop will be an option in Windows 8.1 "Blue" this fall.

I'm reading Microsoft is waking up and pushing out updates (performance and feature)to Windows and Office much faster. Like incremental updates every month I'm experiencing now with Win8 and Office 2013. That is a good thing. Now I read the big Win 8.1 "Blue" update this fall will allow Windows 8 to bypass the Metro Screen and boot direct into the classic desktop? Honestly Microsoft, who is running Redmond? You stood steadfast on this. Now you back track? Make the option for Win 8 Prof and Enterprise users only. Get Office 2013 full Metro Mode and say good bye to the desktop for direct boot. I find the same arguments by people on this who wanted their Program Manager back when Win95 came out. Hello Luddites, time to move on.

Lunch

With all the nonsense that took place at the SCOTUS yesterday, going to Chick-fil-A for lunch.

Still true 20 years later...it's not just another lifestyle choice

Still true today after 20 years: “Bearing babies irresponsibly is simply wrong. Failing to support children one has fathered is wrong, and we must be unequivocal about this. It doesn’t help matters when prime-time TV has Murphy Brown, a character who supposedly epitomizes today’s intelligent, highly paid, professional woman, mocking the importance of fathers by bearing a child alone and calling it "just another lifestyle choice". I know it is not fashionable to talk about moral values, but . . . it’s time to make the discussion public.” - Dan Quayle
