I am a very loyal Microsoft user and so I happened to use both, the consumer preview and the developer preview that was released by them. And I obviously liked this one too. I have tried it on my old core 2 Duo laptop. But I guess there is a very varied opinion about the OS. I would like to share what I felt about it and would like to listen to you all too. This is my honest opinion about Windows 8
According to me, Metro UI is far better than the Start menu. I know we’ll miss the start button. But that is how things are, new things are known to kick old stuffs out. One reason why I find Metro better is because while using the same Normal Start button, we are not allowed to interact with the programs that originally reside on the desktop. The changes that they have brought about in the section of Windows Explorer, by introducing the Office-Ribbon style. Also, the introduction of Weather Display, Calendar and such other widgets is like awesome.
But yeah, the inconsistency shown by the Metro with the desktop is not an acceptable thing. The opening of photographs directly into Metro’s Photo app and also the music and video files is very irritating.
It would also be very interesting to see how are the features and beauty of Windows 8 being positively exploited by the tablets and all. The metro looks like compatible with the touch users but I was wondering how will things work with the desktop mode.
Having said all this, Windows 8 still has tremendous scope of improvement and Microsoft will definitely come up with more reasons for we users to opt for Windows 8. I have given my take on Windows 8. So guys, what do you all think about the new version?
