Bend Windows 8 to your will with these free tools

Suggesting that reviews of Windows 8 have been mixed is a bit of an understatement, but you don?t have to take my word for it; Microsoft's bold new operating system is available right now, and if you spend some time with it I wager there are elements of the operating system that you absolutely love (the speed!) and parts you might love to tie a rock to and fling into the nearest large body of water (the Start Screen!)

If you're still on the fence about Windows 8, we have a few tips and tricks that might sweeten you on this already inexpensive upgrade. The PC permits unparalleled levels of customization, and third-party developers haven?t been sitting idly by, waiting with baited breath for Microsoft?s latest operating system to launch; they?ve been busy building new tools for tweaking your new operating system. Specifically, they?ve been working hard to create a number of different apps designed to reduce or eliminate Windows 8?s biggest annoyances, in addition to apps that allow you to customize Windows 8 more meaningfully than Microsoft permits by default.

So if you miss the Start button from Windows 7, if you?re an Apple fan who needs a little more visual consistency to ease your transition to Windows territory (or just install it on a virtual machine), or if you?re tired of looking at the same ol? lock and start screens on Window 8, we have a great list of free utilities that you can use to bend Windows 8 to your will.�Let?s get started!
