I just don't under stand why they decided to force the UI on the desktop users and are so stubborn about it. It would take very little effort for them to include a classic option and it would eliminate a lot of critisim they have been getting but instead they are forcing it on you.

What is forcing you to use Win8?

Thank you
Russell
