under the section "PC Settings" seems to a description for being able to actually use the settings screen in your start menu that will reflect between your start menu and desktop? i've been waiting for this... my start menu will be in japanese even though i set my default keyboard to english and try to set all the language settings to english, so that i'm stuck with a stupid half english/japanese environment. even now, sometimes it's a toss-up whether or not i get english or japanese labels for start menu apps like Skype and my weather and mail apps seem to be permanently named 天気 and メール. i can't even search those using hiragana or romanized phonetics, ugh. maybe this wouldn't be a problem if i weren't practically illiterate.

also, if i ever log in to windows 8 without waiting something like a minute, i always get boxes from something not working right when in some of the start menu screens and when trying to type things in with any IME. see: http://i.imgur.com/78SNnpB.png

sorry that my post turned into one big complaint. hopefully someone will show me some very simple fixes to my problems!

Why use something you hate? Are you forced to stick with Windows for some particular reason?
In my, and many cases, yes.

When an alternate OS runs all my tools and games, with 100% compatibility with my hardware, I'll give it a go.
