What apps do you really need to use that you cant just download the actual program for? Only switched to 8.1 about 2 months ago and just installed everything like normal after getting the start menu shell. Feels just like 7 to me now after going through some setting changes. i dont even ever see the metro screen. Only annoying part of 8 is not being able to remove the logging in with password everything you boot up the PC.

I can't remember how the apps came up. Maybe I accidentally clicked on them or maybe not. I also had some friends accidentally start apps and not know how to close them. Far as Metro goes, I enver installed anyting to get rid of it. So everytime I booted Windows 8, it'd go to Metro. And everytime I was at the desktop and moved my mouse to left corner, something relating to Metro will come up. And there were some things I only knew how to do in Metro.
That's all I really didn't like about Windows 8: no start menu, metro and apps. But like I said, if you download the start menu, it's forgiveable and easy enough to ignore everything else.
I even tried some old games on Widnows 8 and they worked fine. I had to experiment with the monitor settings though to get some games to show right. I also didn't like the extreme widescreen so found a way to make it more square.
That's another thing... I hate these widescreen monitors. Thankfully, there's a setting for it. I do not get why people like them? I like to see everyting in front of me. With widescreens, I gotta strain my neck to see everyting.
