I start to see two camps on Windows8. Some who love the surface usage idea, tech people who can easily adapt and the other camp having a real challenge with the new UI. The majority of users are the second part and I think it will be a long hard battle for MS to convince that group. At least they tried something new.
- Zenst 14y agoAs long as I can pull up a command prompt I realy don't care as it's the easiest way to move all files starting in "A" and ending in "Z" (move A*Z ./wibble/wap/woo/.). Show me a GUI that does it easier and then we can talk about progress.
- jjcm 14y agoGUI's can't, and that's why so many tech companies are trying to develop intelligent voice controls. Saying, "Hey move all of the files starting with A and ending with Z" is easier to remember than command line syntax. Don't try and make a GUI do something it's not designed to do, you'll end up with a bad GUI, not progress.
- eande 14y agoI love the command prompt as well, but there are several hundred million users who don't even know what that is.
- pbz 14y agoUsing Total Commander, hit F6 (move), hit tab to move to the "only files of this type" box, type "A*Z", and then hit Enter.
- specialist 14y agoYou forgot my camp: Persons so abused by Microsoft over the years that I'm fresh out of goodwill. Metro looks bitchin. I can't wait for others to copy it. But I can't imagine Microsoft sustaining their commitment. Nor can I imagine them not trashing whatever investment I've made in their platform(s), either as a user or as a dev.
