I am only reporting what Sky viewers have reported. And they say there were ads and no-one was disputing that.

So you haven't seen any ads yourself, and by the sound of it you don't know what they were watching. Maybe it wasn't the Sky F1 channel itself, but extracts on another Sky channel, or as I said - a pirate stream with its own adverts.

The Sky F1 channel does not have ads during the qualifying or the race. So you can "go by" what someone else says, or you can go by what we say and what Sky advertise - without being reported to the ASA or any other widely publicised or authoritive contradiction.

So you only watch the qualifying and the race? How would you know then?

You seem to have lost the plot .

I replied to this post of yours. The quote you give there is entirely to do with the qualifying and race sessions. There are no ads in those, but you tell Andrue he couldn't have been watching all the track action, (implicitly of those sessions).

If you are talking about practice sessions, fine. I don't know about those. That isn't what I challenged.

If you step back up the links in the thread, you will see you started by contradicting Andrue's statement about the race coverage, which he then expanded to include qualifying.

There were no ad breaks in Sky F1 race or qualifying coverage. End of. You shot off at a tangent and that's all there is to it.

I was so intrigued by your query that I popped into local John Lewis to have Win8 demonstrated.

Yes, you can get to a "normal" desktop with multiple windows visible and running but via a lengthy navigation for every program launched by starting from the tiled Start screen, pulling up some bar from the bottom to be able to click om "All Apps" and then be presented a sectionalised menu of all the programs (here called "Apps") indexed.

What I found missing missing here is that you cannot have a hierarchical (foldered) structure to this menu, where you would see a list of only the programs under a certain heading, like Games. All you do see is a list all the programs, well a whole screenful, divided by the section headings, and you have to cast your eye over all of them to find the section, say Accessories, and then the program, say Notepad, that you want.

I notice on the MS Windows web pages and videos it shows none of this, but just peeps pointing at the tiles on the Start screen.

Did you, personally, watch anything or just 2nd hand reporting?

Can't remember exactly but there may have been adverts between the practice sessions. So no "Track Action" missed at all.

Or you can just type the program name at the Start Screen.

Indeed just what my initial thought was.

Crazy!

Actually, any apps you use frequently you just need to right click their icon and pin them to the start menu, then you can indeed put them into groups and name them..
