As you can see, I managed to smuggle an easter egg on their servers. Save your files before 20 August 8)

Bypass the Windows 8 Start screen with RetroUI - New software lets you ignore the Win 8 Start screen so that all you ever see is the traditional desktop.

Doesn't say much about a new OS when you need utilities such as this to get back Windows as we know it.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the link. Tomorrow, I will try the tool at work.

Hot on the heels of the RTM version of Windows 8, a swathe of tools that can be used to either emulate the appearance and features of the latest version of the operating system, or tweak Windows 8, have emerged. Windows 8 Transformation Pack 6.0 and Windows 8 UX Pack 6.0 both fall into the former camp.

that's clear, but it means a lot of effort (installation, maintaining, de-installation).

Hi Gunther,

It's not an effort as I use another computer to install and use the trial version.

you are right and that's a good idea. Will that work with my old Sempron?
