That's not bad, I can't believe I haven't done that yet. I'm a space cake >_<. I think I might be able to find a PCI NIC or something around to try. I mean, if it is the NICs on the board then at least that should give me some sort of idea. I have to see what I can dig up tonight. I don't have many parts laying around to swap, but I might have one of those. Or at least a USB wireless card or something.
I remember when XP had the new Start Menu, despite having the option to use the old one, it was a disaster. People FREAKED out. People said it took too much room.
In Vista, despite a bit smaller, it was still hating, people continues to complain about it, especially now that you had no option to get the old one back. But people used it, forced to use it, and saw how practice it was, and when Win7 came out: "BEST OS EEEVVVAAARAR!!!!! Perfection at every level!", despite having nothing touched on the Start Menu from Vista to Win7.
Actually they haven't had the start menu in since the beginning. The start menu was introduced in the, oh so hated, Windows 95. And if you can believe it, just like with taking it away, people had mixed reactions to it being introduced. Windows 95 was actually the first version of Windows to look like what we know today. A start menu and a task bar being some notable features.
Honestly their reasons for getting rid of it made sense. A lot of users tend to just put links to programs they use a lot on their desktop or pinned to the taskbar. I can't remember that last time I went digging in the start menu to find something. Having it be large tiles for apps you maybe don't use as much or maybe you just want out of the way made sense. You can get to things pretty easy. And if you need to look at all your applications for some reason you can and they're displayed in organized lists on the screen. It's not difficult to use or even navigate. Hell you can even just press the Windows Key, or the start menu button in Win 8.1, and just type the name of the program you need. It's way faster than mousing through the menu actually. It's just different and as time has shown again and again, people don't like what is different. What breaks the norm.
