I had it installed in a vm on my laptop and played around with it for a couple of weeks and Brian Boyko absolutely hit the nail on the head with his assesment. I too, thought it might be me, just like Dible said in post #2 but it is awfull! It is like two teams set out to come up with something new, one team for the desktop interface and the other for the tablet interface at the opposite ends of the building and then as an afterthought bolted the two end results together.sigpic

How are adults supposed to take it seriously when my own kids are laughing at it?

He wanted to know what that was, and I told him it was the new MS operating system. His view of the whole thing was perfect..

Win8 is (as intented to be) as a mobile OS.
The main problem is, that is the poorest ever designed mobile OS I have ever seen.
Good or modest mobiles has a way better designed interface.
Of course, giving to a desktop a smartphone interface is an absolutely idiot idea.
Desktops has designed for many more functions than phones (eg. programming?).
Oh well! MS Way (TM).Kubuntu 13.10 saucy 3.11.0-12-generic 64bit (el_GR.UTF-8, kde-plasma), Windows 7
