== Keyboard shortcuts and other version of Windows ==

Prior to this page's creation, the section regarding Protogon was removed by user [[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] with the reason, "Please adhere to MOS. The reader is ''not'' a subject in an article."

I added a link to [[Windows_key]] shortcuts for other versions of Windows because Windows 8 supports most of them and it is a useful reference for Windows users. My addition read,

I'm sorry, but I do not know what this abbreviation means. Do not assume that everyone will understand ambiguous abbreviations and please do not remove a section unless you are willing start a discussion about it. The cryptic reason given is not inherently understandable. Please, rephrase and elaborate.

:Windows 8 also supports [[Windows_key|Windows Key shortcuts]] from earlier versions."

Unfortunately Codename Lisa reverted the change with the comment,

:No, it doesn't. For example, Win+P and Ctrl+Alt+Space don't work as they did before.

First, the original edit did not claim that all shortcuts are supported. Second, the cited Ctrl+Alt+Space combination is not a "Windows key" shortcut and is irrelevant. I edited the addition changing it to read "supports many ..." to address the comment from Codename Lisa. Unfortunately Codename Lisa reverted the change with the comment,

:Please stick to Wikipedia:Editing policy § Talking and editing and use talk page for communication, not edit summaries. Also "many" is a weasel word.

:MOS stands for [[WP:Manual of style|Manual of style]]. Text should not be removed, but instead edited to conform to the style. If someone's edit does not improve the article, you can [[WP:undo|undo]] it. [[User:Graeme Bartlett|Graeme Bartlett]] ([[User talk:Graeme Bartlett|talk]]) 22:13, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Codename Lisa: Please clarify/elaborate any reasons you may have for the last revert. Whether or not you like the word "many" is not reason to revert the whole change. Be constructive in editing. The statement is provably true and relevant. If you don't like "many" then rephrase to your liking-- cite a percentage, change it to "most", etc. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:User5910|User5910]] ([[User talk:User5910|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/User5910|contribs]]) 15:14, 12 August 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== new symbols on windows 8 ==

:Hello, {{u|User5910}}

:First, even if what you say is true, it is not a new feature. It an old feature. What is it doing in ''Features new to Windows 8'' article?

I am now using windows 8 in a virtual machine. also this is posted in a windows 8. i want to tell you about the new symbols of windows 8. I found it in touch keyboard.

:Second, allow me to remind you of our policies: [[WP:V|Contributions without sources may be challenged and deleted]]. I personally do not think one tenth of Windows 7 shortcuts made their way to Windows 8. If you think otherwise, you should know that [[WP:BURDEN|the burden of proof is on the person who makes the contribution]], i.e. you. So, would you please cite a source? (In the appropriate article of course; like I said, this article should host this statement, regardless of its truth.)

I'll see if i can send an image.

also, i cannot view it in anyplace, the only way i found is:

1 search symbols in google

2 look at the title 💡 - google search

3 you will see the character.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

== Most important new feature for me: free pinball ==

I have just modified 2 external links on [[Features new to Windows 8]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=802890412 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit [[User:Cyberpower678/FaQs#InternetArchiveBot|this simple FaQ]] for additional information. I made the following changes:

A table of [[Pinball FX 2]] is included in Windows 8 for free. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/29/pinball-fx-2-included-in-windows-8-consumer-preview/ --[[User:Fluffystar|Fluffystar]] ([[User talk:Fluffystar|talk]]) 18:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

:''Third-party'' app that does not belong as a ''feature of Windows 8 itself''.--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] [[User talk:Jasper Deng|(talk)]] 19:26, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

*Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20140110193117/http://snia.org/sites/default/files2/SDC2013/presentations/FileSystems/AndyHeron_Enhancements_To_Win81_Storage.pdf to http://snia.org/sites/default/files2/SDC2013/presentations/FileSystems/AndyHeron_Enhancements_To_Win81_Storage.pdf

::Well, [[Full_Tilt!_Pinball#3D_Pinball_for_Windows_-_Space_Cadet|Space Cadet pinball]] was also developed by a third party (Maxis) and is listed under [[List of features removed in Windows Vista]] ----[[User:Fluffystar|Fluffystar]] ([[User talk:Fluffystar|talk]]) 19:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

:::The difference is that that pinball program was something you could add/remove in "Add/remove features", but this is not the case with Windows 8.--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] [[User talk:Jasper Deng|(talk)]] 19:46, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

::::Then we need an additional list of apps that come with Windows 8. --[[User:Fluffystar|Fluffystar]] ([[User talk:Fluffystar|talk]]) 11:08, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

== Feels like... ==

This wiki page feels oddly like a '''big ad'''.
