Though, if you manage to shut down that Metro crap it's just like Win7.

Exactly so. I'm using Windows 8 no problems. I installed this:

Start button is back. It's pretty much like Windows 7 and the only thing I go to the ridiculously-big-buttons-bit for is Netflix.

I concur - we did this at work for the 'needed' Win8 boxes, and they're running like champs. Even worked for the Father-n-Law's new touch-screenie all-n-one... (and, cut down on the tech-support calls....<whew>)

Once you get Aero off, and tweak it (make it run with Preformace in mind, and adjust its pagefile) its pretty close to Win7.

I got around to installing and opening up TOAW on Windows 8.

So far, the only thing I've noticed is that the graphics that are supposed to be produced by beginning the place name with '<3', '<4>' don't appear.

Have others noticed this?
