What I love about WIN OS is that you can turn off all the eye candy to save on background processes. I’m worried win 8 has to many layers that take up valuable cpu cycles.
can you turn off the win 8 tile interface completely? Or just hide it?
The new tileset IS the new start menu, that is the only real difference between 7 an 8, win7 start menu is the the tile menu in 8, which for some reason has been marketed as tablet thing.. which it isn’t. just a new start menu. And no you can’t disable it. Also there is no classic theme, though the aero theme is also gone, but there is something in between, that seems to perform just as well as win7 classic theme. So don’t be scared.
Just use classicshell on Windows 8

brings back Startmenu and other legacy oriented UI things to Win 8
easy Install -> ready to go, even reboot not required
no need to be worried about the new Win8 UI
