People like me who want to keep the OS crack free? Why would I trust someone who steals something of not messing with my PC? Seriously.
Ahahahaha, what a noob!
First of all the scene would immediately nuke a release with a crack like that and the release group would lose prestige.
Child logic. Must be nice living with it. For the record though, you can't lose prestige if no one knows what you're doing, most people won't go reverse engineering cracks and even if it is, covering up stuff like that online is easy. If push comes to shove, given time the rumor dies out.
Second of all, my release didn't crack the win7, it simply removed Windows Genuine Advantage from it. You know the same WGA which is a spyware created by Microsoft that at all times checks if your OS is legit.
Eh... That was... still a crack, and the WGA crack tended to break with Windows Updates, unless of course you followed the "prestigious group's" moronic (or shady) advice of not installing Windows updates. That, or you wait for the next crack version, which sometimes takes too much time to get out.
On all accounts my pirated OS is better than your legal and cleaner in regard to surveillance by the third party.
Because no other party could be datamining/botnetting on your compromised OS. Yup. And then they're asking why the hell are worms going around en masse, everything is inherent Windows security holes...
On-topic: that whole Metro bullshit is not intuitive, looks like shit and is completely useless for a desktop. Made exclusively for touch units and has no place on normal computers. I will be looking for releases of Win8 that remove metro entirely from the OS and then I will consider installing it if it has any other advantages of win7.
Also File explorer looks like shit

Windows Explorer actually has previously hidden options that everyone was using, like hidden extensions and invisible files, out in the open, one click away. The RibbonUI on Explorer is convenient as it is, many common options in 2-3 tabs makes the old menu list seem tiring to navigate now. Then again, I never had an issue with Ribbon in general to begin with but I must say, I think the Explorer Ribbon is better implemented than the older Office one.
The Start Screen, I'm afraid, is generally easier to customize, navigate and find stuff than the old Start button. Other than that, Metro apps shouldn't be on the desktop, they have limited functionality, take up the whole screen (or 2/3 and 1/3) and are a pain to switch to and from. They didn't have to turn off the gadgets either, those were generally useful.
