I also second Classic Shell, if getting used to Metro is her biggest complain(along with Outlook Express) then Classic Shell along with Windows Live Mail might just be the ticket to making her happy with 8.

I have never used windows mail, I guess I didn't realize it was in win8. Thanks for the tips everyone- This is a much better solution than trying to go back to win xp or something crazy like that.

The Iobit one is more for you or me but the classic shell does have that XP look.

Because of this and the fact that being the latest OS it should have the longest support and the most compatible drivers with that hardware, I say keep it if possible. Classic Shell and similar utilities will go a long way to make Windows 8 sane.

You can still turn transparency on, on the borders. It just doesn't have the fake glass highlights.
