Quoting John Coyle <jco...@iinet.net.au>:
Reviews in our local serious computer magazine, 'Australian Personal
Computer', heartily endorse W8
for tablets, but suggest staying away from it for desktops, and not
highly recommended for laptops.
The biggest problem seem to be it is essentially
touchscreen-oriented, and that's an issue with most
desktop users - I certainly would not want to have to stretch out
some 60-70cm. to touch my monitor
to make things happen! It is possible to switch to the classic
interface, but you have to do it on
every reboot - it doesn't stay set.
Yeah, but third party developers can take care of that problem.
When MS dropped the classic start menu from Win 7 (and unlike Vista
didn't allow an option for users to drop back to the classic
interface), the absolutely wonderful and free 'Classic Shell' appeared
within a matter of months. I've been using it since I got my Win 7
machine and have never needed to look at the bizarre Win 7 menu.
Classic Shell now supports Win 8 so I assume it will enable booting
straight to the classic interface in that OS as well.
