Seems that Metro can still be disabled

[JMH]

Everyone’s waiting for Microsoft’s mysterious announcement later today. And while we are waiting, a tool has come to light that supposedly is doing what many Windows 8 users may want to do: get rid of the Metro UI.

Windows 8′s Metro user interface is a controversial one, I give you that. I personally had to wait until I installed the Windows 8 Release Preview on a desktop PC until I made my peace with the new interface. And while I’m not using it an awful lot on the PC, I do not really mind the times that I do. If I had the choice, I would have opted for an update to Windows 7 that features all major improvements that Microsoft has implemented into Windows 8.

The site for the tool isnt in English, and the tool requires some moderate editing of system files. Caveat Emptor. Pretty sure better tools will come out.

Thanks John. The one last impediment to win 8 is gone.
