Is It jus me?

Or are there any other cpians that actaully like the metro interface. It seems and feels new. In the link bellow I much better prefer the metro screen then the OSXyz one: http://microsoft-news.com/microsoft-windows-8-vs-apple-os-x-mountain-lion/[^] With apple it just seems like nothing new. Sure some new apps, security ... but overall nothing new/big.
All the best, Dan
Looks like it is just you.

Does it just look like - or is it all the same (with a little twist in the appearance) :confused: What if I want something different?

POH has been very positive about Metro. I can't understand why MS wanted to base their interface on a newspaper. :confused:

Is Windows 8 seriously going to look like that? That's horrific! X|

It's what most users do. Check emails, news, tweets, like or dislike photos... So it makes some sence if you consider that. For the rest of us there is the desktop interface for real work. That's how I see it. And it seems the right move. Sure, I'll have to clarify the situations with the daleknians but short of that "all is good". :rolleyes:

Ahhh, of course - so that 'Start' button on the screen is really going to confuse them. I can't stand anything to big or 'in your face' - both of which appear to be the philosophy in that design.

Normally I click on the start button when I want to stop.

No wonder pictures with smiley faces are needed!

I don't think Wikipedia deserves being put in the same category as the other two. It isn't a peer reviewed journal or anything but it is a good source of factual information, and also requires more than a three second attention span to want to make use of (unlike Twitter/Facebook).

OK, fair point.

You're reading a Microsoft site comparing w8 with OSX... Of course it looks better.

I googled for screens/images. Haven't read a word of the article. I know it's a MS site but I've alos installed the developer preview and I can tell you that it looks like that. As for apple it also loks like that. Sure the app icons vary from person to person but the look and feel is that one. So the link is just for the picture. I was too lazy to create one myself, upload it ... :)

Ok you're just talking what the desktop looks like. I just hate the type of article you linked to, with it's bias it becomes useless otherbthan as a marketing tool. Speaking personally, I almost never see the desktop on either my Mac or pc. I run apps from the launch bar on both systems. What worries me about windows 8 UNi is the single-ap-at-a-time paradigm. I don't work that way.

Not sure I follow. You can have multiple apps running even on the metro style. You can even have a split screen granted just for 2 apps. But splitting your screen with like 4 apps only make sense on a 26"+ display. On a desktop I don't even want to hear about metro. X| But on a tablet is nice. ;)
