Doesn't seem to be enabled by default.

Right click the 'Taskbar', click 'Properties' > select the 'Start Menu' tab > click 'Customize' > in the dialog displayed, check off the appropriate menu link, 'Recent Items'

Nice little application.  However, the menus are hidden in the top left corner of the windows.

MS Suite Against Motorola for Android Phones


http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7877?hq_e=el&hq_m=1086407&hq_l=4&hq_v=67baeaf602

Remember Luke telling Yoda he's not afraid and Yoda saying 'But you will be!"  Buried at the bottom of the article is MS suite again Motorola.  The patents being using to sue are very general and could be applied to any Android device.  Thank you MS.  You can't create a decent phone of you own, so kill the competition in court.  This could be a real problem if MS has success with even one of these patents.  Maybe the EU should step in again.
