Re: Windows 8

Classic Shell.

Nearly everyone I know who has Windows 8 and uses their computer regularly uses Classic Shell or some other variant to make Windows 8 look and feel like Windows 7.

You have to fiddle around with a lot of the Classic Shell settings (always make sure to see all settings, advanced settings, etc), as well as some of Windows' own settings. And if you have any problems with Windows 8 and Google for a way to fix it, go to the Microsoft threads but skip the official answers - those always just say things like "we're sorry, you can't remove that feature", but someone else on the thread will usually have a way out of it.

That said, you'll have to do a bit more digging if you have 8.1 instead of 8 - Microsoft hasn't really fixed any of the stuff they said they would, and unfortunately some of the deeper-lying stuff in the coding means the old fixes to 8's bullshit are a little harder to apply in 8.1. :(

Though if your computer is new, see if you can just get a pirated Windows 7 instead. You won't lose much.
