Hi every one
I really HATED W8 when it appeared - but having played around with it for a while I actually quite like it now.
For people like me who don't want anything to do with Metro apps or that totally B/S "Store" just delete them (or remove) from the Start screen.
But once you arrange your applications in APPLICATION frequency (not grouped by application group) it works quite well.
For example if I use EXCEL amd notepad and Calculator together --you can pin these together on say "Most used apps"
You don't need to leave say Ms excel in Ms office and Calculator / Notepad in Windows accessories.
My problem is that a) the tiles can't be customized, and b) the start screen looks (however you try and re-arrange it) totally HIDEOUS.
However for "Classic star menu users" try and re-arrange your work.
It actually isn't so horrible -- apart from the really dreadful start screen design.
Cheers
