Life after Windows 7

Windows 8 customizing

from WinCustomize Forums

As some of you will know, I am not without a certain knowledge of customising. I am now wondering if it is worth continuing to do so if the Windows 8 set up remains similar to it's present state, that is with irregular rectangles covering the whole desktop.

I can see there may be some use if you are using a touch screen, although with a computer, I fail to see how this is of any use whatsoever.

Also, the apps for Windows 8 are the worst I have seen! Windows 8 is Apple's best advert.

To this, I would be interested to see any windows 8 customized desktops.

Finally, all I can say is why not upgrade to Windows 7 ?  :grin:

Best way I can explain is by saying, when you turn your computer on, without doing anything else, I call that the desktop.
With Windows 8, you just see a set of boring tiles.

Not if Start8 is installed and set to boot to desktop.

It would appear that you have missed quite a few forum threads and very lengthy discussions on the customization of Windows 8.

Windows 8 can look, and act, just like 7, with a few customization apps.
