Wow, I'm actually getting excited about win8. Microsoft has really made a radical change to the GUI and seems 100% dedicated to Metro. So far I'm not that impressed with how widget centric win 8 will be but I'm assuming there will be an option to completly turn it off and use win 7's GUI.

I wouldn't expect that, it seems the biggest thing they've been working on is moving everything to this widget-centric GUI.

So far they haven't provided one. At least not one that is user friendly.

Yeah, it seems to be only possible with registry hacks at the moment.
