Welcome to the home page of Windows 8 In Depth! This book is for people, like you, who don't consider themselves to be “average users.” It’s a book for anyone who finds that doing things the official way is slower, less efficient, and less powerful because Windows 8 was designed from the ground up to avoid confusing novice users. To unleash the potential of Windows 8, you need a different approach that blows away Windows 8’s novice features and scorns the standard way of doing things.
This book goes beyond the standard-issue techniques sanctioned by Microsoft and parroted in other Windows 8 books. Instead, this book offers shortcuts for boosting your productivity, customizations for making Windows 8 work the way you do, workarounds for known Windows 8 problems, and warnings for avoiding Windows 8 pitfalls. Along the way, you’ll learn about all kinds of insider details, undocumented features, powerful tools, and background facts that help put everything into perspective.
