Fuck yeah!

Help us Stardock, you are only hope!

Look at that genius hybrid metro menu. Click the start button (which they added) and it brings up a resized metro intereface that can be custom resized or completely done away with. Why are these people not being contracted by Microsoft to just design the UI for them?

Eat it Win8 lovers.

I might consider windows 8 with that.

Lol, Stardock to the rescue as usual.

Also, a better fix for Metro ModernUI would be to split it into the Start screen and the Work screen. The former would be your fun tiles and shit, while the latter is a work space that houses your applications and has your jump lists on the bottom with your window functions (close, minimize) in the lower corner. What's killing the current version is them being hell-bent on full-screen applications only.

E: Oh, and its reliance on the Microsoft Marketplac--er--Store.

Goddamn, this ad is almost as wanky as Apples:

I hope they bring back Windows Key functionality.

What would be extra awesome is if the apps windows were on a completely different monitor.
