Am i the only one, from what i have seen win 9 looks horrid hopefully msconfig is not clunky if it is i will be sticking with win 7.

Does anyone else feel this way, the glass theme looks much better.

Not seen much,, but what I have seen looks OK..
Mainly interested for my desktop machine.. so don't care what Metro UI looks like.. will be booting direct to desktop..
Gets the start menu back.. so I happy (though Jury out on Metro component of start menu)..
Windowed apps on desktop.. about time.
so on face of it.. all that I need..
So looking forward to public release candidate..
Keeping an open mind.

Cheers

I wouldn't say they've dropped the ball... they simply made windows 8 to compete in the tablet/touch screen market. Windows 8 is no doubt an abomination when trying to use it on a standard desktop computer, but the solution is to just stick with windows 7.... The only people I know who've purchased windows 8 with a new computer (instead of 7) are the non-tech-savvy users who simply assume that because it's the latest version it's the standard

It's a lot like when XP was in its prime and windows vista came out... most people just kept using XP

I stayed with xp over vista, but win 7 was a improvement and i upgraded but looking at windows 9 it just seems like a re skinned win 8, i cant stand the horrid msconfig in win 8 and the chunky look to the settings area.

this intrigued me.. so I just fired up msconfig on my Win8 tablet.. looks remarkably similar to the MSconfig on my win 7 desktop.
You being incredibly fussy? or am I missing something?

I know it may do.
Click msconfig they try to change startup programs it will take you out of msconfig and put you into task manager where you have to manually select each program you want to disable.

Let me know how it goes, maybe it has changed
