Extra features can hurt if there's no clear direction for developers.
When do you use the touch UI, and when do you revert to the Windows 7 UI? Does it depend on the complexity of the application? Will Office switch over to the Metro UI? And if all the momentum and familiarity is in the legacy platform, what convinces developers to try out the newer platform instead (that users can all but ignore if they choose to)?
- barista 15y agoWhat do you mean directions to developers? As a developer, I will write my app in the new more touch friendly "Metro" UI because it can also be used with a keyboard and mouse. The familiarity that is there in the old platform is the familiarity of the tools and the API which I believe continue would to exist even with the new shell.
