Microsoft finally gave us the choice we were asking for and confirmed the return of traditional desktop navigation. It was a long and exhausting climb but I am relieved we kept pushing until they listened. Stay sharp as we see how this looks in the actual build.

We hit 250 signatures today. It is exhausting to keep pushing when the company remains so quiet but seeing this many people who miss a functional desktop keeps me going.

Windows8 Metro is awful to look at, awful to use and harder than it was to use the old menu system. Microsoft admit you got it wrong and give us a way to GO BACK!
Windows 8/8.1's user interface is unfit for purpose when used on a desktop or laptop imo. Microsoft have alienated me from purchasing any more of their future releases for these platforms. Shows what happens when you take your existing customers for granted!
It's nonsensical and annoying to try to use an interface designed for tablets on a desktop pc. Keyboard and mouse are not intended to be used as a replacement for fingers on a touchscreen.
Does Microsoft care about their veteran users? We are used to the good old start menu ever since Windows 95! If future versions remain as poorly designed as Windows 8, I'm switching to Linux.
Windows 8 has all sorts of useless Apps I don't want and left off useful things like Start button, all programmes display at press of button. I don't want to swipe all the time which is not always reliable nor do I want to have to guess where things are to click/swipe on the screen. Windosw 8 seems to be desigbed for morons who can only deal with pictures
I was buying a new laptop, so I purchased a copy of windows 8 to upgrade my desktop from windows 7 to 8 as well... Now that they are both windows 8, I use my smart phone now mostly. ... Windows 8 looks like a team of giggly teenage girls got together and designed it. If you're interested in doing anything but checking facebook and surfing cute kitty pics, you are in for a grindingly difficult procedure. ....I will be switching to Apple products, unless something is done to repair the windows op sys productivity.
Kick this from our Pc's, they are not iPad !!!! Why W8 ? 7 was very good...and fonctionnal. So no powerfull classic desktop --> migrate to Linux

I can not stand windows 8 or 8.1 I have rolled back to the older 7 pro which I love. If this is the future path for windows I will make the transition to Mac OS.
