The next version of Windows will allow you to turn off the Modern UI. this is great news for anyone who has had an issue with the Windows 8 UI.

I would love to turn off the Modern UI

Threshold will be a further move away from the Modern UI environment for desktop users. In some builds of Threshold, the Modern UI is disabled by default. You have to manually turn it back on but this is situation dependent, if you wish to access the live tile environment.
