Options -> Disable Metro ;p

Ok, maybe not that easy, but what counts with an OS is the basic workings, not an optional GUI

Too bad Metro isn't optional. It would be nice if it was, that's what most people are asking for. Some people don't give a shit about Microsofts app store ecosystem or having their start menu become a full screen tile interface. If you interact with the start menu at all then you will be affected. Hot corners are also some of the worst GUI elements I've ever experienced, there is a reason that shit mostly died with amateurish Linux window managers. When people want a unified operating system environment they will buy a Mac.

But change is NOT always bad.

This change is bad. Microsoft is really divided internally over it too, especially since that memo went out mandating Windows 8 use for official projects. There was no need for a unified Metro interface, they could have offered Windows Phone and Tablet without shoehorning it in an awkward at best way into Windows 8.
