Yes, I am also VERY interested in getting rid of Metro. If I can do that I might actually re-install Windows 8.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Using taskbar properties, you can make it mostly disappear. You can't get rid of it completely though

It's only $5. Classic Shell is nice but doesn't give you everything that Start8 does. /ravi

Have you heard of Crtl+C & Ctrl+V ??? Unless you have only one hand, You should not need buttons.

Oooo! I am glad VS2010 still runs on it. I would hate to have to use VS2012 as well as W8!

Yes, VS2010 runs flawlessly on Win8. It's still my favorite version of VS. :) /ravi

Two buttons... which I use *all* the time, so yes they are important. But also, lots of other stuff, the ui just seems to be organised much better
You use buttons "all" the time when Ctrl + C/V is all you need?

True. And if he doesn't want to use his other hand, then after selecting files and/or folders, right-click and select the "Copy" menu item, followed by right-clicking in the destination location and selecting the "Paste" menu item. It only takes one hand and there is no need to navigate the mouse to a button location.

I finally took the plunge and upgraded to 8.1. After getting rid of Metro, it's actually not that bad. File manager is a lot better than Windows 7 file manager. Of coarse, there's tonnes of things that don't work properly (hibernation, large fonts, etc.), but that's just the par of the coarse when you have a Microsoft OS.

Lol To remove metro from windows 8 is to remove all advancement in technology, while you use compatibility mode aka the desktop. Brilliant: viva la resistance

Otherwise we would all just be called users. Personally I actually enjoy a lot of windows 8 (Except NewUI which I find stupid on my dev machine!) But they have improved a lot of system functionality. Saying that though, I really really miss the prettiness of Windows 7. I want my transparency options back.

A word of warning about your old backups... Windows 8 had a "restore from Windows 7 backup" option which would read backups from W7 and Vista. In their wisdom Microsoft have removed this from 8.1 so you need to "Install Win 7 on a VM and restore via that" (seen on Technet). I can just imagine old grannies turning up at PC World asking for help with Hyper-V Manager.
