Re: 5 Reasons not to buy Windows 8
Good article.
I used Windows 8 Developers’ Preview Edition, on VMWare, since it first appeared on the net. The retail version is probably more worked out.
The first thing I found myself doing is get past the Metro interface to start using Windows 8.
When past the Metro interface, Windows 8 looks a bit different than Windows 7 but doesn’t really work better. And the different bit is that one is trying to find all the icons and places to click, to find all the familiar stuff.
It seems that MS developed an O.S. for Smart phones and tablets, with a touch screen, and then brought this O.S. out for PC as well. What can one possibly do with a Metro interface if one doesn’t have a touch screen monitor? And if one is using Photoshop or whatever, what is the purpose of a touch screen?
I don’t want a touch screen, full of greasy fingers, in front of me.
