It’s funny that with Microsoft’s server OSs (F8) still works for getting into safe mode the first try, yet the latest consumer OS make you go through the dog and pony show of 2 unsucessful boots before being presenting the maze of options for entering safe mode. For supporting remote users, just having them jam on the (F8) key after booting up is a lot easier than having them kill the machine twice during booting up. For anyone fixing hundreds to thousands of these systems (F8) would be a time saver as well. Perhaps Microsoft can be done with migrating towards useless interface changes for the sake of change.
