People don't seem to like the Win-8 UI, though.
- brudgers 13y agoI suspect that the vast majority of criticisms I read are from people who rarely, if ever, use Windows 8. Consider the "start button problem" everyone who actually uses Windows 8 has (by logical necessity) solved the problem...and whatever the problem existed, supposing one did, is gone from Windows 8.1 - a free upgrade released last summer. 8.1 also successfully addressed the legitimate criticism regarding better modal integration of Metro and Desktop metaphors. Most of the criticism of Windows 8 is generated in an echo chamber with a tradition of anti-Microsoft tribalism born in the dawn of the public commercial internet. Windows 8 introduces the replacement for a 40 year old WIMP metaphor and many people don't want change.

- valevk 13y agoThis seems to be the biggest Problem IMHO. All I hear is,how people are trying to get the old look back. (How to add Startmenu button? How to launch directly to Desktop? ...)
