So, don't use the "Metro" stuff. It's really, really easy not to... just run in the desktop! You know, like you have been doing for years.

I prefer Libre Office but also have Office 2010 because $100 was a decent price to buy it for and on rare occasion it is useful. Lease it for $100/year? No fricking way
Why is it that charter schools get better results with fewer resources?
