Windows 8 in Desktop mode

Ironically, there are too many people predicting the “end of the world”. For Windows 8 Metro style UI doesn’t make sense if you are developing business applications or using a non-touch interface computer. Windows 8 allows to disable Metro UI (and by that also disables applications that are Metro UI applications) and puts UI into the “conventional” Window 7 look and feel. Registry key for explorer can allow you switching between Desktop and Metro UIs as mentioned in this blog post. So end of the world is postponed to some later days folks.
