I'm still not getting it and I've been playing with it a while.

 

Why take a failed mobile OS and make it a desktop OS?  I mean, sure, I see
the logic because it *could* help bolster poor mobile device sales, but.

 

The interface reminds me of the Partridge Family bus.

Subject: Win 8 CP - Initial thoughts?

 

I didn't bother with the Dev Preview all that much but I have installed the
CP and spent about an hour with it so far.  I'm running it on a desktop PC
so I can't comment on the touch side of things.  But so far it is quite
slick.  Very different of course but I think the general public will like
it.

 

I'll force myself to use Metro as much as possible as I have done with
various changes to the Start menu/control panel etc over the years.  I
usually find that I end up liking the new interface.

 

Later today I hope to start playing around with Win 8 Server.
