there is supposed to be a "classic mode" in windows 8, but (i've heard) it nerfs
functionality.  I've also seen complaints that M$ isn't providing a full api to
3rd party developers like Mozilla, so firefox will only run in classic, while
only IE will run in Metro.

Typical M$ BS...

I do all my pov work in linux anyway: I like the command line.
