I don't have a problem with Windows Explorer in Windows 8, in itself, except for the way it is so jarringly different than Metro. IMO, it is recreating the X11 problem of too many UI tool kits.
Personally, I think Microsoft should consider creating a Metro based file management system.
- ajryan 15y agoMetro is content- and context- oriented. It will present a file browser when you need one, containing the kind of content you care about. For example, add a picture to a tweet in your Twitter app and get an image gallery. The idea is for you not to have to care where files are located.
- RexRollman 15y agoThe problem with that is many people DO care where their files are. And to have to use a jarringly different interface to manage them is asinine. (Of course, if Microsoft doesn't do it, someone will; giving rise to 3rd party file managers just like we had back in the Windows 3.1 days.)
