Your comment leads me to believe you have not used Windows 8. Metro, at least in the DP and CP releases, are very cumbersome with mouse and keyboard. These problems go beyond "unfinished features in beta". It's not glitchy animations and missing features. The whole paradigm is rotten.
- freehunter 15y agoI actually use Windows 8 at home in a virtual machine under Ubuntu 11.10, I have no problems with it. This is why I cannot understand the reaction of "unusable". Is the problem moving around the start screen? Use the scroll wheel. Is the problem swiping to log in? Press a key on your keyboard. Is the problem exiting Metro apps? Press the Windows key (which has had the same behavior for almost 20 years, bringing you back to the start menu). Windows 8 feel eminently usable with a mouse and a keyboard. When it comes to pouring water on the Internet rage machine, I feel like I should be paid by Microsoft. I'm not praising them, it just seems like facts and reason go out the window when it comes to how much vitriolic and vicious hatred people can pile on. It doesn't matter if your statement is true, it will become true as you keep repeating it. The only thing that is different is that it is different. It's no less usable than the tired "desktop" metaphor.
