Then they stupidly made no way of reverting that atrocity to the classic start menu and unless there is a revision to be made in the release candidate version, there will be no classic interface.
One other gripe is you need to have a live.com or hotmail.com email account, and before getting to the metro sexual screen you need to log in to your email account.

That appears to be a completely useless OS. MS still has the bad assumption that people use their bloatware instead of their own programs. I’m sure each of those blocks work with their own bloatware; IE, Media Player, Gaming Center, MSN Messenger, yadda yadda... For most other people who don’t use their programs, it will probably be a headache to use them around these pods.
I’ll stay with WIN-7 Pro as long as I possibly can w-wo/support, since it’s as good or better than XP Pro was (IMO), and then go to a Mac or Linux. Screw MS and this Win-8 crap BS.
Uh oh....Vista II in the making
I’ve been migrating to Linux for a number of years, this might be the final incentive. I’ve got a real estate program that only runs in IE is the only hangup.
The reviewer seems to have missed the major part of windows 8... It is designed for touch screen systems, so working with a mouse you dont derive the full advantage of the new UI. I ran the recent releases and it took a few mins of getting used to but once you figure out the context menu available to every app and how to get to the traditional desktop it was fine.
It brings the ease of use of tablets to the PC for those who want it, and those who don’t can just go into their traditional desktop.
Horrible... it’s the ‘new coke’ ...
An OS for the insipid, the illiterate, and the lazy. Not for doing business on. It’s as though someone on the MS team is intentionally pushing consumers towards Mac and Linux.
