I installed the demo version of the stardock software. Two complaints. One I have is related to shut down or sleep mode from the stardock software menu. If I do that, the system does go to sleep, but after re-starting, windows 8 takes over and shuts down again. If I bypass and go back to the metro interface and shut down or sleep from there - no problem. The other is in setting up the software, the configuration options. There is no explanation with each choice. They should provide a mouse-over pop-up or something that explains what each choice means. I'm going to take a look at a couple of others before making a final decision. \:\)
