I bought a SSD for my crappy old Lenovo G450 and turned it into a monster. Best thing I could ever buy. Laptop now boots into Windows 8.1 in about 8 seconds.

Personally I hate Metro crap but thanx to Classic shell I have all the goodness of Windows 8 and still feel asif I am running 7 UI wise. Besides looking at what 9 is doing menu wise it was not such a bad decision as Microsoft itself is returning to the classic menu system.
