I have no doubt you will be able to turn it off but its not a tablet OS. Its the new main Windows OS much like 7 is the main one right now. He even mentioned when ever you start up that new app screen will come up and from him saying that I think its safe to assume that when ever you start your computer up, that will…
Pointless. Looks like a tablet OS designed to compensate for the fact that windows 7 bombed on the slate. It's hard to sell software on "hay remember all that shit that was broken? We fixed it. $399" The incentive is usually always to offer something new.
They should have stated in that video that this is for the touch version of the OS. Now everyone is bashing them for doing stupid things for desktop OS... Most of the techy/workstation users I know turn off Win 7 theme. Don't really get why. Love those previews, folder stacking and just the overall look of it. Seams like…

That being said there is no reason to go on a windows 8 hating spree. Nobody is forcing you to go to 8. EDIT: I'm not saying that anyone…
There is a much faster alternative :P Windows 7! ;) There are some mind boggling comments in this thread. People criticising Microsoft for putting tablet features into a............tablet OS. Next up will be the stupid shit said about the iPad - WHERE IS MY PRESSURE SENSITIVE WACOM PEN?!?!??! I CAN'T USE IT WITHOUT A WACOM…
