X5 and Windows 8??

[lbuttery]

I am reading reviews and agree with the "stunned" opinion that MS didn't allow for a preference setting allowing the user to decide whether to boot into the old or new GUI

with such a setting those use to the old GUI could transition to the new GUI on an as needed basis

I don't have tablets or smartphones and may or may not get them
at this time I see no need

cramming the new GUI down our throats is not a good marketing idea

this may be the Windows equivalent of "new coke" versus "classic coke"
