Metro UI Tweaker: Make Windows 8 Look Like Windows 7

are you serious? you have no argument. you're whining that people who don't like windows 8 are whining. grow up.

if you can run win 8 in win 7 mode, what is the purpose of this third party software? if there is a simple option in win 8 that does the same thing, why does this even exist?
gates has already said he expects the touch interface to be used by everyone. he thinks touch monitors should be ubiquitous - despite the fact that they are ridiculously tiring to use for any extended period of time.

i like a lot of the features windows 8 offers. i don't like the metro screen. it is locked in unless you use third party software(or edit core files), and classic mode is still win8 with metro, unless hacked.

thanks for schooling me kid, but i know the variety out there and the chance was with the dev preview. of course i will try rcs as well, but with gate's own comments they don't plan to change anything.
in fact, the only way it WOULD be improved is by feedback from people like me, who actually care - rather than people who simply want to insult and demean others just because they have a different point of view. again, grow up.

and please, answer this: do you all really think the only valid comment about windows 8 is a positive one? you people attack everyone who doesn't have something nice to say - no matter how valid their negative feedback. that doesn't hint of intellectual honesty.
 
I have been using computers since 1980 - have grown up with Microsoft from the early days of DOS to the current windows 7, through good and bad. Have my own business and have been teaching retirees how to use computers for many years. I repair, rebuild and upgrade systems. Microsoft, you have finally gone troppo!! Computers are for people who need something simple and something to run their businesses not a b....y glorified X-Box. I have loaded Windows 8 into a spare computer, have been using it for a few weeks and I still haven't found anything I like about it. How about allowing the choice of interface or should we abandon this gamey c..p and opt for Apple, Linix or just not bother purchasing any more Microsoft?
Please, please give us back a simple lackluster interface of old.

He's simply stating his opinion dude, chill out.
 
I'm sure he's "chilled out" since that post is from last September.

Heh, there's one born every minute isn't there... :laugh:

Just wondering how you go about running Win 8 in Win 7 mode? I buy and sell PC's for a living and found Classic Shell which I found to be so much better than this software. I need something that goes quick since I work alone and have to keepem moving. Ever tried Classic Shell and if so which is faster, any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated
