"The Microsoft Partner Action Pack subscription is restricted to resellers, consultants, value-added resellers, value-added providers, system integrators, developers, system builders, hosts, service providers, and IT professionals who sell Microsoft products or provide solutions based on Microsoft products and technologies to third-party customers.
The software products that are included with the subscription are NFD versions. You can use them only for testing, evaluation, demonstration, training, and educational purposes. For example, you can use the Action Pack software to host your company's intranet but the software cannot be used to host a commercial Web site. This is considered a production environment that is outside the scope of the software's intended purpose." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312310 On Wed, Mar 11, 2015 at 1:48 PM, Ryan Ray <[email protected]> wrote: > No you can't disable the Metro UI.
