That's fine for small time home users like you, but I can't recommend 3rd party shell replacements for clients. I have no idea when they might download a windows update that will break it, locking them out of their machine when they're trying to work on a $50,000 contract, or when someone will discover an exploit and because it's just some guy writing visual basic in his spare time he doesn't patch it, and now the president of the company's machine has been compromised and he's sending all of his customers viagra ads.

The Modern UI bloat that doesn't really exist.
Another point of contention for Start screen opponents is the modern UI apps that come included with the operating system constituting bloatware. Well, they don't. These are apps that tell you the weather, list out the headlines, track your stocks, and so on. The default set of apps that come with Windows 8 barely have a couple of dozen megabytes in memory footprint, which is made up for by an overall better memory management by Windows 8. Besides, enthusiast PCs begin at 4 GB of memory, 8 GB is considered mainstream for gaming PCs, and enthusiast builds are getting the whiff of 16 GB already. Plenty of room in there for an app that tells the weather.

your average home user isn't going to know what the fuck classicshell.net is and they're going to resent losing the interface it took them 20 years to get used to. windows 8 is going to flop, it already has, and it's nobody's fault but microsoft's. they didn't do this because they thought metro was a better way to use a pc, they did it to get people addicted to their live tiles, the whole thing is one big advertisement for the windows phone

oh christ i would never install windows 8 on office computers i alrady said that, but not because of memory issues, it manages memory better than windows 7 and the "bloatware" Metro UI would barly make a dent in a tpyical workstation computer's memory usage anyways, no the reason i woudlnt install it on workstations is because people would be too intimidated by the lack fo a start menu and it would damage efficiency because people wouldnt be able to adopt it
and that's why it's not being adopted by businesses
and that in turn is why it's not being adopted by the public, people like using the same shit on their home computer that they are used to using at work
