Quote:It's not about the start menu being complicated and "retards" can't use it. It's about people being able to use it with a touch screen interface.But I don't want a touch screen interface for two reasons:
- Your 26 inch Screen gets dirty ALL the time with fingerprints (yay, cleaning your 26 inch monitor 8 times per day!!!
)- A mouse is less work to control a device, I don't like to raise my arms all day, while it is less effort with a mouse.
Quote:Apps are only really for mobile devices, you can just use your normal programs on a PC. I don’t really see the big deal.Erm, the aim from Microsoft is to make Metro the main interface.
The desktop is considered no more then a native APP from Microsoft that is started with the Metro interface...
So no, Microsoft's idea is that APPs for desktops are the best next thing (read: pay pay pay $$$).
Quote:If anything 9/10 are likely to be even further away from what 7 is now.That depends how the Metro interface will be received by the audience, and ESPECIALLY business environments.
I don't think the Metro interface will make the work floor more productive, actually I think it will be counter productive as hell...
I wouldn't be surprised if Windows 9 would look quite a lot like Windows 7 so the work floor can upgrade Windows and stay productive...
