Making Win 8 like Win 7

from Stardock Forums

I'm considering going for a full Object Desktop upgrade. The main thing I want to do is make Win 8 look primarily like Win 7 and behave mostly like it. I already have Start8 and used to use WindowBlinds until I stopped using XP. A decent interface is worth the money. The question is whether the customization is tidy and well-behaved enough so the performance hit is minimal. I've got 10GB ram and 2GB video.

The only thing you'll notice is how good your desktop looks. ;)  

WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

Thanks guys. I'm going to pony up for this one. Win 8 needs a facelift bad.  :annoyed:

Or just use W7 which saves you a buck or 50-100

I figured since the W8 was already installed, Object Desktop was cheaper. And I'd probably still use it with Win 7 anyway!  :grin:
