Twas my response to an earlier thread about this. Not cool, I'll skip Windows 8 if this is the future of Windows.zombiesinc said:
Windows 8, where your once powerful pc, will now look, and feel like a cell phone,(with an OVER-SIZED screen, attached to a tower, mount to the wall by power plugs, and best of all, with out the portability of the cell phone.... does the web browser cost extra for file transfer limits? I hate the hold and drag design...
How many times has Microsoft stated that windows 8 is for smartphones and tablets not desktop pc use unless you just really want to.
I personally like vista after you remove/disable the bloatware...
OT: I will only use it if the universities have released their hologram tech to the public by the time this goes into full-spin >.>

A 10 year old piece of software that runs ridiculously smooth. I'm stuck with Vista, being a poor college student who got a laptop at the wrong time. It's a buggy piece of shit.sneakypenguin said:
Wow that looks awful. That might work on a tablet or something but this is not the way to go with a computer operating system.
"User friendly" just means they're watering it down.

This has probably been posted by the fifth page but people realise that you don't need to use a touch screen, right?
It was designed to be used with a fingertip or mouse, whichever you prefer or have.
Although it does remind me a lot of the Zune and windows phone UI.

Hate to say this, but this may be a good thing for people who have problems with using a current pc. For instance, the elderly, young children, non computer literate. On the larger scale of things, it does feel wrong that microsoft is trying to gauge their users for a new version this soon. But hey, what can one do?
I doesn't have to be bad, but it certainly looks like it.
It's ugly as all hell, way too simplistic and so on. That kind of stuff can work on phones cuz you don't have a mouse and have to fumble around with your fingers. I only really use maybe 10 programs and they're all on the bottom of my screen with W7, I don't see why they couldn't be in app formation, but I also don't see why they should be.
Bacially, it's stupid, and I'm perfectly fine with my W7.

well after seeing this the future looks mighty bleak to me.
I have to ask who at Microsoft though up this new direction, they go positive feedback from Windows 7, the trailers a few years ago for Windows 8 were OK, but now... what were they thinking.
I owned a HP Touchsmart 300 series because I won it in an office holiday drawing. They had something that was near Identical to this that would come up when you started your computer, so my first order of business was to wipe that from the hard drive, but this... this is the OS I hope with all my heart that this isn't the direction that Microsoft wants to go.
(but then again look at the windows phone.)

If there isn't one already, Linux will a workable version of this sort of thing released within a year. And it won't cost over a currencies and take up a sizeable chunk of your hard-drive.
