Why should I have to........
Go through all these steps, for something that should NEVER have been removed.

WIN 8 is not productive nor are any of the METRO styles, for our business style, we DON'T use touch and phones are phones not computers.

Microsoft have lost us as a client, here is what we have done....

Moved our users (115) to a flavour of Linux "Zorin 6" which has a UI that looks and works like WIN7.

We purchased Zorin 6 Ultimate with DVD media for NZ$30.00 and it has applications also When we can move to Linux flavor Zorin 6 Ultimate, "http://zorin-os.com/premium.html" for NZ$30.00 with DVD and Support per seat.

This includes Libra Office and a full range of Applications Business, Multimedia, Gaming, you don't need to purchase anything else.

And we will also be purchasing Ubuntu Server Advanced loaded or Zental Server "https://store.zentyal.com/" with all options.

The cost saving per user is around NZ$800.00 per user, and the server well we were very surprised, and our accountant loved the savings to the balance sheet.
