Ed Bott wrote a guide for Windows 8 users who hate Metro. He offers suggestions for removing several annoyances.

Metro Hater Guide


For those who aren't familiar with Ed Bott, he wrote some excellent books: Windows Inside Out.

Thanks to Ed Bott's suggestions, I've lowered the temperature of my disgust for Windows 8 from Surface of the Sun Hot to a much less extreme Molten Lava!

Cheers, PW.

P.S. It's not fair to comment on Windows 8 without giving it more time. It's just that the more I work with it, the more I dislike it; hence, my fondest assessments came early.

P.P.S. I don't want to end without saying something nice, so here I go: Windows 8 serves as a great warning against drinking from the same water source the developers used.
