Re: How Many Apps is Enough?
Just updating with the news that Microsoft is now overhauling all of its basic apps for the "modern interface." Will this impact your buying decision?

Re: How Many Apps is Enough?
I always take a wait and see approach for my business apps. I don't mind being on the cutting edge for personal use, but that is what I call the "bleeding edge" for business class products. Many, many companies are still running Windows XP for instance, even though MS is withdrawing support for it.
I will wait at least for "Service Pack 1" before considering Windows 8, and then only if I need a new computer. I think it will have more impact on the tablet and phone market than on the desktop, at least at first.

Windows 8 is likely to fail in the Enterprise merely because most have just finished upgrading to 7 or are still in the process of upgrading. I am sure it's fine by MSFT merely because their aim is to get the share of the tablet market where they have been a non-contender up to now.
As far as initial questions. To me the number of apps plays no difference. Most of them are non essential for business operations.

I use windows 8 trail for two months. While using i don't care about how many extra apps are available at their app store, because to me, hundreds of apps will worthless if those are not improve which I use regularly.

Re: How Many Apps is Enough?
They've been updating them a lot over the past week. I do like having the mail on the "Modern UI" screen without having to fire up a desktop application, much like on my android tablet. The rest of them are getting there, though the music player needing an entire full screen still boggles...

Ways to Make Your Search More Accurate
Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.
-
Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".
-
Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards
-
Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"
- Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
