Windows 8
AceHigh:
The funny thing is how Microsoft managed to create an OS that gives such a horrible bad first impression. In comparison when I get my hands on some Linux distro, it can be at times frustrating, but still rewarding experience that gives me a sence of exploration. Especially when I get that "Oh, why didn't I think of that" feeling. So far Win 8 has given me "why do you fail so hard!" rage.
I just need to vent a bit while I sit at my fast, responsive desktop with Win7 ultimate installed on it. That notebook was some of the cheapest shit I got my hands on and it was on purpose, so I wouldn't be able to procrastinate with pc games on it. However it makes also OS a bit slow... at least right now when I make it update several things at once, uninstall a bunch of crap and try to figure out how to navigate in that fucking time vampire.
My solution so far was in fact Metro. I went there and pinned down pretty much everything from Control Panel section to taskbar. Temporary solution until I get to a shell replacement. Oh, I also need a way to remove the MS Word looking ribbon interface. Any tips?

It's not irreparable. Just click a default theme or something if it breaks. Make sure to try right clicking on an item in the task bar, that's what I found broke the most.

I think what annoys me the most about Windows 8 is how much it distrusts me as a user. Like a) as if it's not my fucking computer, and b) as if I shouldn't know what it's doing because knowing stuff is confusing.

This will disable it entirely. Think it might require a restart.

meh it broke the color theme on some apps, rendering texts either invisible, or the app itself is broken black.
