Have it in a VM. Still completely unconvinced that the Metro overlay will make any sense for serious desktop users, especially in the corporate world. Once you get back to the desktop, I can't see any changes that would compel you to move from Windows 7. So for me Microsoft realise this and I think their main focus is on the ARM version, and touch-screen devices. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/1338567890.28045.140661083738477.0a820...@webmail.messagingengine.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.

It does seem obvious that the Metro version is not seriously intended for use by desktop business applications. Combine that with the fact that their first release was a 'Developer Preview', and I conclude that the primary reason for Metro was to provide a development environment for portable devices. Unfortunately, in the rush to the Cloud/Pad market, it seems several things got left out of the business-as-usual half of things. I foresee a long Win 7 period, followed by a leapfrog over Win 8 to whatever follows it.

The central problem is that Microsoft is trying to create a touch-centric interface when the majority of devices out there don't support touch. Apple, in contrast, started pushing trackpads and touch mice a few years ago, and then started to move OS X to be more like the iOS. I'm running Lion, and have long ago ditched my mice for trackpads, and I find that I'm now much faster using gestures because I've had years to get used to the concept. The gestures that I use on my trackpad in OS X are the same that I use on my iOS devices; if I were using a mouse with a scroll wheel, it wouldn't be anywhere near as easy. -- Ed Leafe ___ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/58f81581-e23e-482f-8b80-2e8d02618...@leafe.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
