Here is an odd question - how do you use Windows 8? Can you just disable that Metro overlay, and have it act like Windows 7? What does Windows 8 do to make my Windows experience better?
Sidenote, do you know how many programs I use to make Windows 7 useable? I've found a few that can do a lot on their own, but let's see. I use 7 Taskbar Tweaker, gets rid of the bottom right show desktop button as well as the right click menu on taskbar items. It also doesn't group the items down there PROPERLY.
I have a program called Classic Shell which fixes Windows Explorer, so it goes "Desktop -> My Computer -> C Drive" now, instead of the random total jibberish that is a group of floating options like "Favourites" "My Network" etc. As well as a bunch of random changes to it.
I put the Quick Launch box back and I turn off transparency. I'm sure I do more as well. And THEN I get to Firefox, which requires just as many changes so it looks like Firefox 3 again, with Firefox 2's URL bar.
So the prospect of Windows 8 is, well, daunting. More things to revert on every install.
