I tried posting the following on a thread a ZDNet and it got refused for containing profanity... Can anyone tell me where the profanity is? Maybe I've been using German too long, but I can't see anything profane:

On the other hand, I've seen the other side, where people who were constantly getting confused by Windows 7 "got" the ideas behind Windows 8 and they ask far fewer questions about how they are supposed to do things - like save files!

One user lost a days work, because she opened Word, wrote some text, saved it, deleted the text, wrote the text for the next subject, saved it, deleted the text, wrote the text for the next page and so on... Then she called me, because she couldn't find her previous text!

Not a surprise, when you have made 10 incremental saves of a.doc, each time after deleting the previous text and typing in new text... It took me a while to understand what she had done, because she kept saying, that she had saved the text. It was only after letting her carry on and start the next "document" that I worked out what had happened. Luckily she had printed each "document" out, before starting on the next one.

She says she is much less confused by Windows 8 than Windows 7.

As above, suspect it's the [LIFTED] issue!

EDIT: scun-thorpe - looks like even that didn't pass through the filters.

I suspect it is Word. ;) Though Windows 8 was a close second for me. :lol:

Agreed, I think that it is a [LIFTED] over sensitive word scanner/filter.
