Windows 1.0 is 30 years old

I remember DOS 6.22 and no windows. I still have the Menu program where you have to fill out the .exe path to open a program. Then 3.11. Never saw Windows 1

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

 

Windows 8.1 Phone Dialer

Ever since the days of the old Nokia phones you most phones have allowed the typing of a persons name in the dialer to find the person in your contacts list.

Almost every dialer app for windows 8 does this, but the default dialer doesn't

Why not? Seems like a basic thing to miss off and is ruining an otherwise excellent phone experience.

And no, using an app isn't an option as you have to click through to the main dialer and you don't get history.

Hoped that it would get added in 8.1, but no, so now because of this I may more away from MS phones. A real shame

Thanks
