My issue is with the stupid charms menu that pops up. Windows allows you to disable it for the top-right corner, but you need to purchase Start8 to remove it from the bottom-right corner.

I shouldn't be required to purchase a 3rd party application to tweak a stupid setting easily. Having to code a solution and work with the Windows Registry is hell and something that most people won't bother doing.

If your business strategy is "there's a cheap $5 3rd party app that fixes that!" - you deserve to go out of business.

ClassicShell is free. I have to try really hard to get into any of the Win8 garbage using it - except on my laptop, which has an awful touchscreen for some reason that I have only used on purpose once or twice; there I end up bumping the screen right and it interprets it as some kind of gesture.
