They should have created a game to teach Windows 8 interface

- vezycash 11y agoI think they assumed people would embrace the Metro UI... cos the windows metro interface was battle tested (windows phone, zune, media center) and most importantly, it was an award winning interface. I also think they forgot or underestimated the most important factor which influences the feeling of ease or neural fluency - familiarity. They've learned their lesson as instant Familiarity is a chief goal behind windows 10.
- Terr_ 11y agoAnecdotally, they failed. I'm still on 7 because 10 just introduced a slew of unfamiliar UI styling while hiding or removing any mechanism to make it stop...
- velox_io 11y agoThey've made some nice improvements with docking multiple applications, plus multiple desktops. So you can have on for work and another for play. I'm not a fan of the new Start Menu, but with pinned shortcuts to the task bar I don't see it very often.
- HeavenFox 11y agoMaybe they should bring back Inkball? I had too much fun with that even without touchscreen...
- Joeri 11y agoThey did, it was called 'Windows 8'.
