    Shell for W8

    Anyone know anything about this Shell you can download and once installed it makes your W8 have a W7 look and feel about it?

    Does it work?
    Will it harm your system?
    Any recommendations?

    I use VMWare and I reckon they do a good job.

    So VMWare is the name of a W8 Shell?

    VMWare visualization is what I am referring to. I used it to run Windows 8 when I tried Windows 8.

    Stardock's Start8 is the best, but it's not free (it's worth the $5 price tag though). You can download an try it out:
