I have it on my W7 at home and was one of the first things installed on W8, which went back to the store. Those tiles on W8 are the pits. FWIW, I've used both, and bought the Start8+ModernMix bundle. ModernMix gives you the standard windows, resizable, movable, with title and menu bars, etc. I assume you make your own PC or LT? When you buy a Dell or HP or anything off the shelf the OS is already installed so you get no choice. You certainly *do* have a choice. The programs he's talking about (ClassicShell, Start8, ModernMix) are all add-ons to Windows. They can easily be added to off-the-shelf Dell or HP machines (or anything else running a version of Windows they support). I looked up "Start8+ModernMix bundle" but can't find any screen shots of it. You mean it make 8.1 work like W7? I don't want something worse than I have now. ClassicShell has not given me back what's lost from W7. Nothing restores Win8x to exactly what exists in Win7. Behavioral adaptation is inevitable and necessary. It's a bitch to pay $1,000 for a computer and have problems right out of the box - not once but twice. The Dell with W8 lost the DVD drive and had to be returned. You paid $1000 for the computer...NOT the OS. What problems are you having with the computer itself? And what exactly did you pay $1000 for? I bought this http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03602800 2 years ago from Staples for $560 (with a rebate) and I haven't had any problems with it. If you have a problem with the computer ITSELF HP has a great customer service dept. BTW - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/about |

Before my post, and hence not possibly directed explicitly to my remark. 2. And furthermore, it was completely ambiguous as to what you were curious about. You could, for example, have been unaware that Classic Shell has other uses besides modifying the behavior of Windows 8. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
