I don't know if it will help your situation, but at least Windows will look
more familiar.

afaik windowing in metro mode isn't part of W8 or W8.1, as to boot to
desktop and have a wallpaper on the startscreen are.
The "Metro app in a window on the desktop" is something done by a
company called Stardock, and is called ModernMix.
Unless I understand your comment wrong.

There are more than a few apps that barf at win8 in metro mode, and even
with several tweaks some are just plain too painful.
The Crytek SDK one and half release ago in example outright refuses to run
for many people.
It's a minority, and my experience is Soft, Maya, PS, ZBrush etc. all run

As Stefan said, delete and disable hibernation. No need for that on

I don't think there is anything that speaks against Win8 for use in render
farms, it's still strange you get such a huge image with Win7. Maybe there is a
hidden hibernation file (always has the size of your machines RAM) or excessive
paging file that bloats it that much? Did you delete files t
Hi All
I am looking at imaging our render farm (mac mini's running bootcamp). I have a
