Oh boy, that's one hell of an ugly windows. I mean sure, for tablets and smartphones this is the way an OS should look like but on my PC I want the OS to be installed in a way I'm familiar with.

Heck, with a couple of exceptions everybody is used to what gave this OS its name: Windows! And yes, the old feature of the desktop is still integrated but from what I've learned it has to be activated first even after you've installed it on a PC.

So what next? Microsoft planning to kill normal PCs and bring everybody on the tablet sector? Is this the first step to ensure that we don't get keyboard and mouse with the next generations of machines but are using touchscreen everywhere?

Umm noone is holding a gun to your head and asking you to switch, you can still keep your Win95.

I have to agree with you, it's damn ugly and looks f*cked up... I'm never installing that crap for sure

can't even choose for classic when I'm in desktop app :'(

 

uber qq'ing

 

anyway think I will stick with windows 7, cause I don't have classic:p

 

 

EDIT: for a second I thought I beat the system by saving my windows 7 theme and importing it in windows 8, well that failed :'(
