They should make the dock act exactly like Windows 7, put it in the bottom, remove the top panel.
I've lost several domains that simply got deleted from my account. Every time I tried contacting them about the subject they refused to answer.

This is a neat idea, getting real time data from a busy place like Twitter is something that rivals current search engines when it comes to get the latest news.

Microsoft backs off on Metro 12 years ago
The problem with Windows 8 is the fact that it has two different desktops experiences. I quickly realized I felt much more comfortable using my keyboard and mouse on the desktop mode. I tried to ignore metro mode and use only the desktop but the whole metro thing is so ingrained with it's sensible corners and start menu. After some time of tweaking I could disable most of the things and ended up with something resembling a crippled Windows 7 at best.
They really had something going on with Windows 7 and they blew it. Maybe metro is ok for light usage like checking emails, browsing, multimedia, which is certainly what a lot of people do, but for a developer like me it just feels handicapped.
This is what Microsoft should do, offer different versions of Windows, one with metro the other with the desktop. I really don't think they are that stupid to just mess with the momentum Windows 7 had.
If they don't then they are finished in the desktop front, at least for people who make things with their OS and not just consume media.
