Classic Shell is not a spyware app. It’s free and very great.

How can a Touchscreen Phablet Interface be “great” on a legacy NON touch PC?!  
How is having to relearn all the secret Microsoft handshakes… Which one needed to know BEFOREHOOF just needed to simply get the fecking machine, to shut down better then the 20+ Years of Start -> Shutdown?
 
inb4 some 3’ed party spyware app makes everything better on Windows (h)8….

I SAID IN RETAIL! - As in MicroSoft are no longer selling it. You are correct, that is NOT the same as saying you can no longer buy it in a Shop that still has some stocks of it left. But, once those stocks, are gone… They’re gone!
 
Windows OSX will convert all the “Home Premium” users to Beta Level status… While the Windows Insider (i.e. The former Squad of Beta Testers, will be promoted to the ranks of Alpha Testers.
 
Only those running the LTSB of Windows “Enterprise” will actually be permitted to retail any actual control over their Machines. al-la what we’re used to now via Patch Tuesday, Update the following Wednesday! So your not a fan of stuff like KB3035583 (i.e. The Windows 7/8.x… Update to Windows OSX Nagware), are you? Well under OSX your gonna love such updates or else! Since the EULA give them exclusive rights to throw whatever they think might stick on Windows OSX. At any time of their choosing.
 
I grant you those People dumber then a bag of rocks… Your Parents, Grandparents for example. Might well deserve this. But until that policy changes and, everyone that wants to can get to use the LTSB (Long Term Service Branch… Its simple think of Windows 7, or 8 by the definition given these would be LTSB. Only that they’d have a live of ~5 Years. So would probably hit EoL after a year of so, before entering the extended support phase. where 7, and likely 8.x are right now.
 
So if Windows OSX means turning over the controls of my PC over to the boys in Redmond. Then I shall keep on enjoying Windows 7 for a bit longer.

@mcflurry  
OK, I lied about the Windows 8.1 part, Windows 8.1 is like Spikebelle, it’s awesome and great.

@Background Pony #7EA4  
If it’s not Spikebloom and Windows 8.1, it’s fine.

@mcflurry  
Buttonbelle is best pairing and OSX Yosemite rocks.

Windows 7 pony is best pony and Spikebelle is best pairing. Your arguement is invalid.

@Ichijoe  
Unity is okay so long as you use it as a quick launch bar for your most used programs, instead of putting EVERYTHING on it.

@cb5  
UNITY AGGGGH  

@Science  
That my good Sir is Windows 8 with TIFKAM
 
(The Interface Formally Known As Metro)

@Science  
The idea isn’t that bad; it’s that the way they implemented it was. They should have done something similar to how there’s unity for linux instead.

Windows 7 is also dead (in retail), or do they still sell it? XP is as good as dead well till April next Year. And Linux HAS NO GAEMS!

Oh god, what is that damn abomination of a interface?

@Ichijoe  
wow, you assume pc is dead because of windows 8, just stick with windows 7 or just about any linux os

@Ichijoe  
i have no idea what you are on about

And somepony was saying how great the PC master race was again? Living Proof as if ya needed it that the PC is dead right there folks!  
Its called Metro (oh wait thats right its not called that anymore), and your gonna LOVE IT!
