Hyh. What's the worst? They are thinking that Winows 8 is awesome. I have installed it on my PC and my first reaction was "What the hell is that?". Click on the start button and "#@$!^@" . And the next step is- how to shut down it?
I still feel like sticking to windows 7. Windows 8 might be faster but the metro UI as I can see here was designed for tablets in mind. This is kind of like what they did for the New xbox UI that came out in Dec 2011 which was awkward to use with a normal controller and lovely to use with Kinect.
@xElvewatfordx dude, they have to move on with all those tablets around ^^ i personaly think that i will stick with W7 for my desktop... no one said that you have to give up on what u have ... proof:>> even wXP is still around ^^
@eonvee375 I know, I still have Windows 2000 (Yes, I still use it.) on my old laptop, Windows XP on my previous computer (I still have it and I still use it.), and Windows 7 on my normal computer (the one I'm on atm). I won't be getting Windows 8, I really hate it. They even made the 360 look similar to this, it makes me want to sell it lol.
I agree that they have to move on for tablets, but I use a -> desktop <- PC, and I don't want or need a tablet... My iPod Touch is more than enough..
lol i think ms has just finished off apple ,, wont be long before they bring out the full windows 8 mobile phone then i will sell my iphone and get one of them ,, all the peaple who moan about the new ui time to move on ,, anyway the pld style is still there :)
@supergus7 you could say that but it still has normal windows there i tried the dev preview and it seems ok so i think i will wait 1 year after realese then all the drivers should work fine i hope :)
"All I have to do is swipe in the from the side"...
And if you weren't shown this, how long would it take you to GUESS that that was what you had to do? How about forever? This is just plain bad interface design, produced by selfish idiots who can't even begin to imagine what a new user is thinking, when first presented with this 'interface'. It fails on just about every level.
I love how they finally got rid of the start menu and replaced it with something extremey useful and beautiful.
I also love the integration between touch apps and regular desktop applications - in theory, a Windows 8 tablet (or even a phone) could replace your PC entirely: When you're on the go, use the touch screen and tablet UI and as soon as you get home, dock it to your big screen, keyboard and mouse and use the full Windows desktop and applications.

You moron. "extremey (sic) useful and beautiful"...
Moron...
Windows 8's user interface is the biggest fail from Microsoft ever.

No it couldn't, unless your phone or tablet has 8GB RAM, an i7 860, 3TB of storage... and costs £400.
