Windows 8 saves customization
Tuesday, September 20, 2011 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I don't know about you guys but Vista and Windows 7 were real downers when it came to customization. But it's clear from playing with Windows 8 that there's going to be a LOT of customization wanted/needed with Windows 8. All hail Metro and its ugliness.

I guess this answers most of my questions. I've been away from Stardock products and even looking at Wincustomize for a couple years. I got board a few weeks ago and installed it on my Win 7 box and started having fun. (health problems keep me from working so I have time) I had downloaded the Win 8 development when it was released and was so disgusted with the interface that the computer has been siting idle since. The thing that bothers me is the lack of accessibility. Mousing from little square to little square (the opening interface) and all the right clicks to get rid of the excess about killed me. I'm using the laptop mouse. I'll not run something that requires that I bring a regular mouse because my hands won't work for that long with the laptop mouse the way it is designed. I'm happy to know it is skin-able. So that will mean what I am learning now will at least make the navigation issue bearable.
The reason I finally left DOS years ago was that Windows finally made a product that looked pretty good. I think Win 8 is a giant step backwards - I'm not sure what they were thinking (buy more cloud) Keep up the good work. I'm learning as fast as I can, maybe I'll have some goodies to share some day.
