Classic theme is very professional. Not only allows alot more free pixels for working space, easily customisable and is the most aesthetically pleasing official Windows XP, Vista and 7 theme for those who are colour composition snobs. However I do wish I had some features of Aero.

On top of that it boasts an almost un-noticable boost to performance.

It just reminds me of getting like one of the best cars in the world, and never going over 30mph

Modern Windows themes remind me of vomit and poor design taste.

Now I'm lost.

He's talking about classic theme.

Microsoft Says Windows 8 To Launch October 26

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 12 12:06 am**

Is it worth upgrading if you don't have a touchscreen yet?

Posted: **Thu Jul 19, 12 9:14 am**

I'm still perfectly happy with Windows 7

Posted: **Sat Jul 28, 12 2:23 pm**

Has anyone looked into Metro for Windows 8? It's like everything bad about the iPhone on a desktop computer. One application at a time, forced Microsoft store API, messes with desktop.

No thank you Microsoft, I've been away for the last week and was wondering about all this controversy.

Posted: **Sat Jul 28, 12 2:55 pm**

Win7 is pretty much the end of the line for me.

I'll stay on this until Linux stabilises.

I doubt that will happen, Microsoft will see the mistake and back off from it. Like Zune and the Bing.

The thing about MS though, is that they never admit failure and scrap it entirely. Even with IE, Live, Zune, Bing etc they are going to push the negative features of each of their products onto you.

I use win95 type theme to enhance laptop performance.

WINDOWS LIVE MESSENGER

I find it hilarious how pretty much every second Windows OS sucks balls.

Anyone at work who gets assigned Windows 7, we give them this theme from the off , looks more professional than the basic theme

We install High contrast on all our work terminals.

Posted: **Tue Jul 31, 12 7:47 pm**

In my workplace, I ensure that all unlocked computers are set upside-down, with high contrast and sticky keys on.

Posted: **Fri Aug 03, 12 2:34 pm**

Everything about Metro utterly destroys me.

Jesus god almighty what were Microsoft thinking with this

The interface is completely counterproductive

It's almost like it was intended for <s>Apple users</s> 14 year old girls that do nothing but browse facebook and update twitter

They seriously think tablets and smartphones are going to replace the PC?

Posted: **Sat Oct 20, 12 8:42 pm**

Tablets are the future mate. Nothing like programming on a tablet.. sigh..

Posted: **Tue Nov 06, 12 6:44 am**

For most public Consumers; I don't doubt that tablets will be the future of computing. I can't see this happening for corporate use though...

So I installed Windows 8 on a coworker's PC yesterday and it was awful.

Don't get me wrong: I don't mind "new", but their changes are plain unintuitive. I had to Google simple things, like how to turn off the computer, where to find the old control panel, how to use search. Eventually I had to write these things down for the coworker.

Posted: **Sat Nov 10, 12 12:56 am**

Lol. Settings charm, then "off." Nice and convenient............................................................................

The interface looks nice, and is fast. A shame it's followed by three extra counterproductive steps.

Posted: **Sat Nov 17, 12 12:04 pm**

It's really as bad as everyone says.

Posted: **Tue Nov 27, 12 11:53 am**

Me and my colleague had some difficulties shutting down a Windows 8 PC. The button was pretty well hidden.
