But you cant dump the UI completely. There is no start menu. You have that godawful UI or nothing much else.

I used it for as long as it took me to understand that I didn't understand it. There's nothing intuitive about it. Gnome on Linux is easier. If I cant work out within a few minutes how to install a program and how to delete a program.. afaiac its rubbish.

If I have to run Windows programs, (and I do, from time to time) its going to be under Windows XP or 7.
