I have Windows 8 Professional, which I downloaded from my school's software store. Release version has been available for the past 2 months for us. So, enthusiastically I installed it on my Acer netbook. Two days later I took it off. I seriously don't get the purpose behind Metro. I've told everyone on my campus, that OS doesn't belong on ANYTHING that doesn't have a touchscreen. Certainly not on the business desktop. Unless Microsoft wants another Vista where the only people using are the one's that had it forced down their throats because the computer was preloaded with it, they NEED to make Classic and Aero available with the first patch Tuesday that happens after it's official unleash.
