Can anyone tell me how I can log out of Hotmail using this OS?
I'm new to it, and so far can only close the app by dragging it as instructions. I'm still logged in, though.
I have separate passwords for user and hotmail. Does this mean that I have to create a separate user account for anyone who wants to use the laptop? Seems daft.
Any help would be great, as I'm a bit befuddled.
Thanks

Top right-hand corner, you will see your user name and underneath that, in tiny letters "profile | sign out". Click on "sign out", and in future when you log in, uncheck the box that says "keep me signed in". " W8 is a great OS" LOL. Windows 8 on a laptop or PC is just Windows 7 with a few bits removed, and a clunky interface stuck on top. It's not an OS, it's a branding...

You must log out of Hotmail as usual, not W8. dragging the app down simply closes the app. W8 is a great OS, just needs getting used to. Beats previous Windows versions easily. Enjoy!

It's not an OS, it's a branding exercise in an attempt to push Windows users towards Microsoft tablets.

Thanks rojash.
I'm try that later today and let you know how I get on.

Your spot on Rojash, it's terrible. Anything "I have to get used too" I avoid and windows 8 is top of that list.
it's not terrible, it's ok

and if you don't like it then you're likely to be disappointed to know that starting this year there will (almost certainly) be a new version of Windows every year; and those who haven't upgraded from W7 yet might be in for a big disappointment

The mail thing is my only gripe (so far).
"those who haven't upgraded from W7 yet might be in for a big disappointment"

Why?

And do you really believe that every major corporation is going to upgrade their OS on an annual basis?

Most large Enterprises take a year or more to just evaluate and plan the deployment of a new OS version. Many are still running XP.

I logged on the computer and clicked the mail icon. The screen defaulted straightaway to the open Hotmail page. I have now removed the account from the app, and wonder if you would be kind enough to guide me through the process of reinstalling it?
Thanks
