I read some of the things recommended in the article, but I already have the desktop that I am happy with, so I guess the best thing is just to wait around for W9 when Microsoft may come to their senses. With W8, you should have gotten the so called Metro Interface if you had a Tablet and normal Desktop Interface if you have a Desktop or Laptop. The best way to do that is to let you select which way you want it to launch. Right now they seem like a Dictator that wants to force things on you that you don't really want. Looks like they have been mesmerized by Apple and Android. Fortunately I may be able to go to my Grave with Windows 7 which is probably not going to be possible for your younger users!!!
