I personally would have liked them to change the way Windows 8 handled the cursor positioning with touch to match Windows Phone 8 instead of the other way around. Edit: After playing around with it for a bit after I posted this I...

    No Training = No Developers = No Apps = No Hardware sales

    Class Scheduler - Timetable with fortnight timetable, Live Tile and SkyDrive Backup

    I have 3 suggestions: The opacity on the application bar throws me off. On the settings screen the Backup via SkyDrive is behind the save button in the application bar. It makes it a little deceiving what you are tapping. The live tile displays the next class in a 24 hour format. I am in the...
