Help Microsoft and Get Free Software in Return

[livebriand]

Microsoft, here's a little secret that will save Windows 8 massively: GET RID OF METRO AND GIVE ME BACK THE START MENU!!!!!!! Without that, Windows 8 is useless to desktop and laptop users, and doomed to fail from the start.

The Start menu can be hidden, but it needs to be able to come back without the use of a keyboard or keyboard-mouse combo move.

Yes, the OS needs to advance... Windows 95~Windows 7 operates 95% the same way. Geez, even the DRIVE properties on Win7 is exactly the SAME ugly purple/blue pie-chart from 1995!! WTF?!

Here is a free tip for Windows Phone OS 8:
1 - Change the name ... Howabout Windows Mobile 8?
2 - make the titles ROTATE with the screen ordination. Seriously, it looks very cool when it happens with WP7-Launcher for Android.

Stop hating. Windows 8 is far superior to windows 7, if you don't like metro, then don't use it.

Metro was made for touch enabled devices, and on these devices it works great, go buy a tablet pc and compare windows 7 vs windows 8 when you don't have a mouse, and you will think its great.
