Very handy no doubt, hopefully this tool will still work when win8 goes Gold. Why the hell MS haven't included this as a regular option in win8 (skip/disable Metro) is beyond me as by far this is the least well liked part of win8 in the reviews I have read.
Simple answer:
It's also the windows phone interface.
Will be the Microsoft Surface interface when it's released.

Not everyone has the luxury of being able to run Windows 8!  :o

What luxury ??? The current version is FREE ???

I do not have the luxury of having multiple systems and my XP Pro system will never run Windows 8 and my Windows 7 system works great and unless I can afford a brand new system that can run Windows 8 I highly doubt I will ever run Windows 8!  :o

@YoKenny,
Windows 8 happens to be less demanding on system resources than Windows 7.
If you can run windows 7, then Windows 8 will make that computer run better !
My old laptop (Dell Inspiron) which was getting tired, got revived when I installed windows 8 on that system.  :)
