I've been looking at getting an upgrade version of Pro for $15 from work as they just bought a new laptop. I mean, there are some neat features to it but I'm going to hate the MetroUI and have decided if I'm going to acquire it I'd modify the shell to get the start menue back. Faster boot times, less bulk on system resources, a lot of internalized stuff I work with (mounting ISO's, etc.) are appealing for me, and for $15 I'm pretty tempted. Thoughts? Experiences?

Remember, they ported a Tablet operating to a desktop operating system. Windows 3.1x (1992) - Good Windows 95 (1995) - Sucked Windows 98 (1998) - Good Windows ME (2000) - Sucked (hard) Windows XP (2001) - Good Windows Vista (2006) - Sucked (hard) Windows 7 (2009) - Good Windows 8 (2012?) - Going to suck "Nobody really knows what they're doing.

I use Daemon tools a lot currently, and have a SSD already. I will gladly agree that it is a bit of a forced transition, and that it's also pretty much designed with tablets in mind. It's funny how up in arms people are getting over the shell, you can easily replace it with something and tweak it to your bidding, but still have a good OS working behind the scenes. I've heard few if no complaints about the guts of it, just the exterior >.> Provehito In Altum - Launch Forth Into the Deep! "Maybe Steve Irwin should have worn sun screen.
