To make it more seamless with Win Phone & Tablet 8. Yes I am running the preview version of Win 8 in a VM on both Mac and Win 7 computers and in that version you can disable the Metro desktop and I've even installed Classic Shell (as I can't stand the newer Cartoon type interfaces).īut supposedly MS is considering not allowing that change for the final release. Not having to suffer rickety, bloatware loaded Dells, Compaqs and other off the shelf computers with cheap components is exactly why I did custom builds.and why building solid systems for musicians and graphics clients was part of my business.Īs far as Windows 8 goes, I've heard that the "Metro" layer can be disabled and you are effectively returned to an updated version of Windows 7. What I meant was I've always built my own systems to create a reliable system. I hope that Apple starts to see that restricting the ability to customize the user interface is actually contrary to the Apple core philosophies.□ I realize that restricting significant user customization of the OSX UI is done primarily to limit vectors for system destabilizing modifications, but basic theming (like color schemes) can still be implemented safely. I've found only one third party theme online.but it didn't seem to work globally like a Windows theme, and it had been rendered obsolete by the latest version of Lion. I would have thought it would be the other way around, with Windows restricting you a single grey theme, and OSX giving users the freedom to paint their user experience in whatever colors suits their personality. It's seems utterly bizarre that Windows, arisen from a business OS, should have such freedom to customize the UI globally than OSX - a product targetted at the more 'creative', right-brained and individualistic consumer. (I seem to recall the only other option was to go completely grey with a charcoal color scheme.) □ However, I really dislike the OSX "theme" - it seems too grey and sterile to me, and isn't something that I'd hoped would grow on me while using my uncle's iMac. Since I am fed up with custom building Windows boxes to try and get a reliable system, I'm seriously considering getting an iMac.
