BTW I'm also looking at getting a new laptop.. and with Windows 8 and it's issues, I'm gonna get a Mac.

Damn, I love Macs, but they aren't cheap at all.

Mcbook Airs are very competitively priced ATM though, with very good specs.

What are its issues? Just curious what you mean by that?

I'll wait a few years until the XO price has dropped to $300 and get it for the exclusives.

I Donno if the guy made any valid points, but I couldn't get past the first ten minutes because I have literally never had any of the problems he had. I feel like both vids you posted say the same thing, computer illiterates will struggle adapting. Definitely an issue.. but not for me and I assume not for you.

Granted, I use a windows 8 as it is meant to be used (touch input in metro, peripheral input using legacy progs in desktop).

Have you watched the 2nd video? It shows more what's a new person would have to go through...

Yeah I did, and I said that its potentially difficult for the computer illiterate. But its entirely intuitive with touch input. The problem is they optimized a ui dependent on touch as the main interface for desktop users. But if you have a touch enabled computer, as almost all companies have come out with over the last nine months, then its not such an issue.

Definite learning curve, admittedly not the best, but it has become powerful and convenient a year into its use.

I just don't like the inconsistency between the "windows" interface and the "Metro" interface. I don't like to touch my laptop's screen. And if I don't use it for that, the "Metro" interface is basically useless to me.


I just feel like Microsoft tried to "imposed" on users this "Metro" design just so that it can sell the Windows version of their mobile OS. To me a computer OS should enable the user to be "productive" rather than gimmicky. To me Windows 8 is gimmicky. I wonder how many Corporations will be upgrading to Windows 8.
