If your pc starting faster is worth the cost, then yes. If not, no. It is just like having widgets on an android phone. I find myself flipping to desktop every time I sign on.

i'm a student right now, and using office 2010. what are some of these upgrades i'm hearing about with office 2013?
|
Looks like the office is going to pick up a Microsoft Surface Pro for me to use in class, once they become available next month. I'm looking forward to it.

I don't like it.

I got a new lappy that came with Win8 a few weeks ago. They've made some nice incremental improvements to the core OS that I like just fine. All the "surface" shit is obnoxious. I added a third-party app to give me back my start menu, and it's fine.

It's called install.exe. You can find it on your Windows 7 disc.

I think there are a few others out there, but that one seems to be the closest to completely replicating the old start menu's functionality directly. |
I suggest RetroUI. Sounds very similar to DaFace's suggestion, but it's the one I use and it works great. Also $5, but worth it. $5 gets 3 licenses.

Here's how to manually disable most of Metro.. You still have to fiddle with some file associations so they don't open in Metro apps, but it helps quite a bit for free..

Why M$ didn't set up the system to run with or without Metro in the first place is baffling to me. Why take away the one thing that was WINDOWS in the Start button. From everything I have seen, unless you have a touch screen monitor, there is absolutely no use for Metro at all. Hell, even with a touch screen monitor, who the hell wants to reach across to their monitor every time they want to do something.

Just got a new laptop today with Windows 8. My first reaction is wanting to shut most of these new features off. Initially hate the metro start menu.
Guess if you put applications you use on the quick launch or desktop you don't really have to use it? |
