Oh so you inherited your money! That was easy! Now go code, Mr Cable Guy. Isn't that what you are trying to do, learn, but instead you are just a lurker that adds no value?

10 years of school, Always learn.
There is no need for lurking when you have windows 8 it notifies you of every change, as long as you know how to control it.

Good! Great to be from a rich family to get started and then setup Unidex software as the crown Jewel. Demos look nice. It is probably all because of your hard work learning XAML. Piece of advice, don't rely only on Facebook for setting up your company - I know you just opened it in August. Buy a domain, pretty cheap in Godaddy and given that you own millions (nice to be royalty!) it should be easy. I am sure your grand dad Fred who was member of the Legislative Assembly would've been happy - try your best to make your family proud! This includes Tim, Steve, Dan, Joe and the women too.

My family gave me nothing until I made something of myself, and still have not used anything given to my advantage.
Also I have made my own domain controller, and 10$ a month for a .ca domain is cheap.
Most of my companies deal in paper, and faxes, absolute security.

One more piece of advice. If you upload pictures never forget to remove exif values. Especially if you post views from your place. Any self respecting geek can find out where you live, where you work, where you move around. It is pretty creepy!
Also, there is too much information going around in the web! Being not nice is not recommended! Good luck on your realtor business! Word of advice though, looking at your MSDN activity, I can see that you are a prick there too.
Remember that you can get places being nice, but being a pain will get you no where. Of course, you are just an entitled young brat who does not know better. Learn to respect others and you will enjoy a nicer life! Be humble, care for others and stop being a me me me me A type.
Just looking at this, Renee and others were being nice. You asked for help to begin with, but then you just insult them. That's not nice.

Getting nice gets you no where in this world, but is a way of asking for someone else's acceptance.
I want everyone to find me and know everything, instead of being a creepy geek that thinks that matters and actually am in control of my life, try to steal my identity I dare you

Unidex stands for Unicode Indexing - It is the only piece of code that indexes memory by using actual characters instead of numbers - and removes the need for sql statements.

Unidex software is over 10 years old, and has never advertised doesn't need too.
It was written in .net 1.1, I copied the code into a windows 8 library for the windows store, and didn't require any changes I have spent my life since 16 on this project, its a lot more then $193.

Win8 just sucks everywhere except its tiles - the ONE thing made useful for "finger pushing users".

It might surprise you, but it is possible to dislike the OS for other reasons than inexperience.
Also, I have yet to see any advantages of the new UI, even after finding out how to do things. How are the new ways to do stuff actually better, instead of only different? Difference only for the sake of difference is not exactly what I look for in a new version of an OS or other software. I can put up with a lot of learning time if there is something to be gained, I even learned to like the ribbon design in office quite a lot. But if the UX is changed heavily, I'd like it to actually make sense beyond "now we don't have to make different versions for tablets and desktops". Also, I'd like the company to consider cases like non-fullscreen, laggy RDP connections before implementing a UI in a server OS where I have to put the cursor on some precise pixel in the corner to open up menus because Windows key shortcuts don't work in that case.

You have a lot of misconceptions of how things work, you make it seem so limited.
The simple fact as a programmer I can not do what I can do in windows 8.1 in any other operating system.
Everything is a lot easier then you are making it out to be, I don't have problems with running windows 8 in virtual machine windows and moving my mouse to a corner, if we change the resolution available to the window it's going to reduce it to one pixel, alt-tab is the left pane, right click is the top and bottom app bar, and the right pane has a shortcut I just don't know it off the top my head, besides everything else can be done without using the corners.
For the average user telling them about the corners, makes it support a breeze as does everything else in windows 8. You just have to learn how, and to try to forget the past.

So, what are the things Win8 lets me do that I can't do in any other OS?
The problem I have with the start menu for example, is that I have to move my mouse very precisely because the area that I have to click is only a couple of pixels max, and there is no indication as to where it begins. It's not a natural "move to corner" motion when working in a windowed RDP, it's a "move awkwardly slow and don't sneeze because you might shoot out of the window" motion. Not impossible, but slightly annoying. That's my experience with pretty much all of the system - you can handle it, but there are some annoying tidbits and edge cases that just weren't there before and give the OS the impression of being a compromise between desktop and touch, while not being perfect for either. And while there are some good bits in there, I haven't found enough to justify putting up with the things that I don't like.

time will hopefully solve that.
it's kind of a catch 22 for the road to be wide open with abilities yet to be used and the user experience not be compromised.

Agree 100% on "I have to put the cursor on some precise pixel in the corner to open up menus because Windows key shortcuts don't work in that case."

Did you know there is a world land speed record for the fastest mobile toilet? It's 75km/h or 46mph[^]. No, I don't know how many runs it took her...
One UK driver has failed the theory test fro a UK driving licence at least 92 times at a cost of £3000[^]. At what point do you think he will decide "I can't drive"?
Just thought I'd share those with you!
