True. there was no hint that it could be disabled. But a simple registry edit (just turn a value from 1 to 0). I could bet they didnīt mention it because they want metro to be tested. Isnīt it the point of this release?

Legacy, OTOH, could still be improved, but if people is "happy" the way it is on Win 7 (I still see people crying over the ribbon in explorer), the best thing they could to improve it, is make it consume less resources, make it faster, which for the looks of it, they are doing.

What do you think should be changed on the current UI?
