> it’s a stupid “tablet” OS which is nearly useless on a laptop.

It's even more useless on a desktop with a 24" monitor -- the Metro click buttons are huge ugly monstrosities which are only suited for tiny touch-screens, not a KVM.

I managed to sledgehammer my own Win10 environments back into a quasi-Win7 mode (and Classic Shell is my sanity). But as an IT person, I regularly have to work on Win10 and Server 2019 systems that have the original UI config, and I am reminded how awful the default is.

I can't stand it. It's the reason all my personal machines are MacOS and Linux, and I only use Win7 and Win10 VMs for those Windows-only programs.

The worst part is knowing that it's completely unnecessary. Microsoft could very easily give us the options of a Win7-like UI on top of the current NT kernel. But being obstinate a$$holes, they refuse to do so.

If not for Classic Shell I’d take a dead blow hammer to this Alienware in a heartbeat.

Stupid effing “tiles”.
