That interface is incredibly ugly ... there’s absolutely no excuse for each to take up that huge amount of screen space, and completely obscure the background.

If the background is what's important, save your money and get a digital picture frame.

It's their new "Metro" look.  It's supposed to be totally different so it can be used on tablets, phones, etc.

Can't say I like it much and am not sure if I will be adapting to Windows 8 any time soon.  I can't see any reason why I would want to right now and do not have time to learn a whole new operating system.

It reminds me of Ubuntu's "Unity" design which I did not care for and dropped ... switching instead to Mint.  Win 8 is going to have to really knock my socks off for me to even think about moving from Win 7, which IMHO, is the best operating system ever.

You got that right, such a hideous waste of space.
