I have windows 7 but I use classical style interface from windows 98. I don't like Aero or XP GUI.

It's obviously designed primarily for touch screens, in which case the icon style and layout is appropriate.

You don't HAVE to use that screen, in fact the "normal" desktop is exactly like Windows 7. Not like I'm defending W8, but still.

I know you don't. But the screen you are looking at in that screenshot is clearly designed with touchscreens in mind.

if that was true (exactly the same) noone would have bitch about it on desktop systems, because in the end all people would have been happy.
people bitch about it, because in the beta since beginning and few months after, we had a way to enable the old desktop / start button/menu back, until microsoft decided to remove all the code leading to it.
and almost forgot, people bitch about it because metro (modern) ui is shit.

Come to think of it I wonder how long it'll take for DirectX 11.1 to see any use?
(Not that DX10.1 fared very well, that didn't really see much use at all.)

Well, considering how readily they give out those 15$/€ promo codes, I might just get it and keep it hidden someplace.
That would be my first legit copy of Windows ever, after all Very Happy

yeah that's the one i used, supossedly you have to keep trying with different dates, specially recent ones , , maybe cleaning cookies/changing browser, so it doesn't ask you for a serial.

Got it on my second try. You can make a clean install, but i had to let the installer auto make and format the partitions so it activates okay, because i tried before,to use diskpart to create one myself, but then it didn't activate and had to reinstall.

Oh I alreaady got the key, that is why mentioned that they give them out easily.
I used legit info for the most part, except I changed the date to be within the promo period. The PC in question also didn't have Win7 installed. I don't even know what they check and how.

It did ask for a legit key when I tried it in Firefox, so I switched to IE (thinking it might be some kind of a Windows Validation thing that works by itself with IE) and it didn't ask for a key then (all info remained the same). So it seems it had something to do with the browser I used Smile
And yeah, it says in the FAQ that you need to format through the utility that comes with the Win8 installation, not sure why.
