Is there a way of killing Windows 8 and getting Windows 7

[Ari]

I bought a new netbook thing at the weekend and it came with Windows 8.

What the hell is that all about!? Even the most basic task such as shutting down email is basically impossible as far as I can see.

Is there any way of reverting it to Windows 7 (before I hurl the whole bloody thing out of the window)?

That's very helpful, thank you.

But that's exactly what I'm talking about - Windows 7 you click the little 'x' at the top right to close it. Simple. With this there some command that you're just supposed to somehow know? And when it went it just left a blank blue screen. It took a bit of prodding various buttons until I could figure out how to get back to the start screen.

Hateful!

Hmmm... Even 'closed' it is still picking up emails...
