I'd counter that with "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
I spent a few days with Win 8 and I've never seen a more unintuitive UI experience in my entire life. The frustration of having to re-learn simple computing tasks far outweighs any aesthetic improvements IMO.

But by that logic, every new version of a software is useless because the previous one was good enough to be released, therefore wasn't broken. EDIT: also, the multi-monitor support in Windows 8 runs circles around the crappy implementation that was in Windows 7.
- increment_i 13y agoThere's nothing wrong with adding features and improving software, but if you're going to obscure computing idioms that are in some cases decades-old (e.g. closing and minimizing windowed content), you had better be sure that is what users want.
