If this doesn't pan out you can always go back to windows 7 via microsoft (ask google for more info) I would say downgrading but I think win 7 is better. I think MS have had a lot of people asking to get rid of the tiles I hate them too have worked on a few win 8 machines and will not be upgrading any of my own machines anytime soon.

Lol, we have windows 8 on 3 machines and can't remember the last time I saw the "tile screen". Use it just like Windows 7, only faster and safer. Think of Windows 8 as Windows 7 with an add-on for touch screens for those who need it, hidden away for those who don't. Don't install programs for "Windows 8", except Netflix, Skype, etc. Those who don't want the Metro UI virtually never have to face it --- or use it as quick "scroll-through" replacement of the old menus only. Really no change. Yes, direct boot up to the desktop would be nice. But saving 20 seconds on bootup time and then having spend an extra second to hit the desktop tile to get there? Sorry, I can't get all worked up about those changes.
