Windows 8: Something old, something awkward | |
|
||
| Time: 09:08 EST/14:08 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

The Metro part is cool, clean, fast, and -as we heard a zillion times in Microsoft's Consumer Preview release presentation - fluid. The legacy desktop looks every inch like Windows 7 and, with a few infuriating exceptions and some amazing improvements, works much the same way. How will Windows-savvy users respond to the new touchy-feely OS? In my experience, with rare exceptions, longtime Windows users don't like Windows 8. There's too much change, and it isn't at all clear that the adjustments benefit people who've grown accustomed to mice and "legacy" programs. I've been living and breathing Windows 8 for months now, and I'm still not used to the jarring switch between Metro and legacy modes. It doesn't help that the Metro Start screen has only one level of organization. | ||
