Heh heh heh -- and I thought it was just old fuddy-duddy me that had trouble with it. Yep, this is exactly how I found it -- unusable for anything serious. Thanks, GG! -
Entertaining video, thanks for posting. Security at MS should check all the water coolers for hallucinogens.

I believe it is too late. Luckily, Steve got out of there before they spiked the water coolers! Didn't you, Steve?Originally posted by tek_heretik View PostEntertaining video, thanks for posting. Security at MS should check all the water coolers for hallucinogens.

Watching that video is making me want to go out and buy a new Windows 8 pc just to see if I get the same expirience as the reviewer. Then nuke the OS and put Linux on it!Comment

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.sigpicComment

You know, just to be a poopy-head, it would be interesting to take a hidden cam in to all the major stores (and maybe even some smaller ones) and see how they react to saying "but I don't want Windows, take it off and I will pay the price of the PC minus the cost of Windows".Originally posted by NickStone View Post

When the consumer preview came out, I loaded it up in a VM and played around with it. My 7 year old son wandered into the office and looked at what I was doing. 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..Originally posted by tek_heretik View PostMS stole yer colours and put 'em in their 'Fisher-Price' GUIs, lol.

"Dad, that looks like it's for babies!"
How are adults supposed to take it seriously when my own kids are laughing at it?Comment

They tried that before, it didn't work out too well, and became a major embarrassment.Originally posted by tek_heretik View PostComment

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
