You can customize it up quite a bit...it doesn't have to be that cartoony default style.

That's just your start menu anyways. You spend most of your Windows time looking at a desktop as it's always been since 1995.

I'm not a fanboy or anything and don't give much of a fuck what OS people use but it's not that bad. Honestly the whole thing feels more like a Windows 7 service pack than a whole new OS.

Nobody seems to be able to answer me. I asked this in several threads already.
Can it boot to the normal desktop by default. Do i have to see this screen at all?
And why are there people saying you need to buy some software to get your old desktop back?
It's confusing. And even more that nobody will make it clear.

I agree, a phone/table in this format is fine, in a few years it'll be mainly techies, video editors etc that will still be using desktops and laptops, typical users will be tablet only so this user friendly layout is wasted on us.

Worst of all, the icon sizes aren't customizable, so it makes what could be a good feature fuckin' retarded.

Looks like it can be done, via an app.
It's gotta be a setting though, a little daring to dump that in everyones face without a way to turn it off.

:Oh crap

I don't get it. Then why are several people saying you can turn it off without mentioning any app or additional software?

Yep and to make things worse it will probably torpedo the chances of what is a good phone OS :2 cents:

Yes it does. I just wonder why there are several people who say otherwise.

You don't need to buy new software to bring the old desktop back, you can bring it back by changing something in the configuration, but there is no Start Button and the metro shortcuts always apply.

The stupid thing is there is no start button. You can install software to bring it back BUT, it doesn't work the same way, for me it disappeared once I rebooted. You cannot avoid metro.

In some ways it's better than win7, but the whole metro things just ruins it.
I truly think it is totally crazy they force you to use metro. What were they thinking.

Being part of MS Bizspark I get access to that shit early and for free... Windows8? No thanks. I'm about to try out Office Pro 2013, cause somehow they killed me 2010 license lol. Nice way to force me to use their new software.

do what i did, but a 128gb Lexar 400x SD card. my ultrabook only had 128gb SSD, so i just got the fastest SD card I could find at a reasonable price ($119 on amazon). it was well worth the investment.

Bizump. This video sold it for me. Sold me as in I'm not impressed and won't buy it.

epitome 11-08-2012 04:01 PM
I wasn't aware Microsoft was trying to push its customers into the generic touchscreen POS look.

They need to fire their GUI designers.
