To say that Windows 8 is unintuitive in places, and that it lacks cohesion between Aero and Metro is perfectly fair. Other over the top comments may be a little silly.<br /><br />Also notice that I choose the word “silly” :) I didn’t want to offend by claiming that people criticizing Windows 8 knew nothing about the subject. Quite the contrary. I think some of the people who have been the most vocal are power users, and I understand exactly why. If you are very familiar with something a change will hurt productivity. <br /><br />It reminds me of the whole ribbon UI thing, I HATED it! I truly did despise it when it came out, but going back to an older version of MS Office without the ribbon now feels like travelling back in time to a much darker era. I am glad Microsoft shoved the Ribbon down out throats :)G.

Besides, if MS didn't want our feedback then they shouldn't have released it to any and everyone.Jim Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00844382929604008482noreply@blogger.com
