Metro7 – Free Tool to Bring Windows 8 Metro Interface to Windows 7

Metro7 is a free tool which brings the Windows 8 Metro interface to your Windows 7 desktop. It will provide instant access to important apps, videos and news right after logging into system. It has colourful ties, calendar and weather widgets, Facebook notifications, Twitter tool and so on. Clicking the Metro7 “Store” icon provides more options – Video Weather, Hotmail and Gmail tiles, a Control Panel link and more – and clicking the arrow icon top-right allows you to pin your own applications and internet shortcuts to the panel.

During setup it’ll ask if it can install a trial of a commercial Registry cleaner, for instance. And more annoyingly, the default display includes tiles labelled “Online TV” and “Free PC Speed Test”, which users may assume are somehow features related to Metro7, but are in fact just marketing links to a couple of websites. Metro7 is also fairly heavy on RAM use (it had a couple of processes consuming around 180MB on our test system).  It has nice visuals, then, and if you just want an easy way to get the feel of Windows 8 on a Windows 7 system then Metro7 is worth a look.
