Re: Aimed at children and the hard of thinking Dalek Dave19-Mar-12 2:18 Dalek Dave 19-Mar-12 2:18  Agreed. For our needs as developers, web-masters, programmers etc it is clumsy and 'blocky' and has not the refinement that we need. I think that it is being pushed at MS and none dare speak against it. If Bill were still there he would probably have an input. I understand why they would try to make life easier for the Muggles, but why alientate the professionals? --------------------------------- I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

I can read quite well but appreciate the tiles on the Start screen -- in particular, the ones that update themselves (the live tiles). And I'm using it on a non-touchscreen notebook and don't find it to be unwieldy. But that's the great thing about opinion. Everyone has one and most of them (except the ones that agree with mine) are wrong. Re: Aimed at children and the hard of thinking Dalek Dave19-Mar-12 5:34 Dalek Dave 19-Mar-12 5:34  Marc A.

Why would you do that? I mean why? Don't you need every last scrap of power you can possibly get. Bugger ease of use, I want every bit of raw control I can get out of my 1.4 litre 1985 Nissan Sunny. In fact bugger cars altogether. I want a horse. So much better...

I hope they make an option to totally disable metro. Or someone else will, eventually.. My opinion, even when trying hard: Full screen + metro = retard mode. Nobody wants full screen while multitasking like crazy. There will probably be a way to switch it off... MS way or some other way... That'll save Win 8.. Loaded question User 5924118-Mar-12 23:15 User 59241 18-Mar-12 23:15  Where is the option "I don't care."? Peter Wasser Art is making something out of nothing and selling it. Frank Zappa Yes, but...... Rahul Rajat Singh18-Mar-12 23:02 Rahul Rajat Singh 18-Mar-12 23:02  I liked the design but it should not be forced to the user. The users should have an option of turning it on/off. Ubuntu offers a unity interface but the user can choose not to use it. So metro should also give the user such possibility, it will really be helpful. (NO comments on how unity interface is allegedly the reason for people moving away from ubuntu, i hope metro wont do the same for windows) Nope.

Sander Rossel18-Mar-12 21:56 Sander Rossel 18-Mar-12 21:56  To me it just feels like having really large icons on your desktop that don't fit on your screen all at once For the 'serious' applications that actually do anything we need to switch back to the desktop as we know it since Windows 95 It's an OO world. C# public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{ public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); } } Do I have a choice?

Mehdi Gholam18-Mar-12 21:09 Mehdi Gholam 18-Mar-12 21:09  The days of sucking it up and living with it are over, we have the power to create a storm on the web and express our grievances (99% movement [although as devs we are the 1%]) or we can defect to other OS's like android. While I like the design for tablets which makes a lot of sense but for desktop devices with big screens and serious work it's terrible and not thought out at all. Its the man, not the machine - Chuck Yeager If at first you don't succeed... get a better publicist If the final destination is death, then we should enjoy every second of the journey. Re: Do I have a choice? Sander Rossel18-Mar-12 21:53 Sander Rossel 18-Mar-12 21:53  As devs we are a VERY important 1% though. No devs, no software that supports Metro and Windows 8 will flop. I don't think it will get that far though. Many devs are already tinkering with Metro and probably building great apps It's an OO world. C# public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{ public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); } }
