Yeah, I see where you're coming from believe me, 8.0 is NOT all it's cracked up to be, hell, half the stuff that's supposed to go into menus doesn't any more, so I have to search where it was supposed to go, TRY to add it there manually, or, like in the case of liquid, just use the command that is supposed to be getting me there. Unfortunately, try telling that to the people who 'think' they know what everyone's thinking, but could care less about anything but your $$$.. Talk about complete Micro$oft here, that's exactly where it's headed.
