Thank you for the posting this step by step guide to boot straight into the desktop on Windows 8. Why Microsoft did not build an option into to Windows 8, with out such a procedure is beyond me. As smart as Steve Ballmer is, being a Harvard Graduate, does he visit with the average consumer and ask their opinion prior to releasing a new Operating System? The Ipad operating system and a Mac computer has a different desktop, why doesn't Windows 8? The key word here, is giving Microsoft customers a choice on what they want.
