Don't even get me started on Metro UI.


Haha. Come on, you'll warm up to it eventually.

While I understand that we all have different tastes and preferences, I find metro UI quite well suited for a touch interface, which is where the tech world is heading it seems. Keyboard and mouse will always still be preffered on a desktop and for this Metro UI isn't necessary, but I'd much rather have Metro tiles lined up on my phone and tablet.

I'll reserve my verdict for tablets later since Windows 8 isn't out yet, I hate W7P (also super inefficient libaries.) Basically moved from iOS to Android and never looked back. Picking up an Asus EEE Pad Transformer Prime 64GB next week, once ICS hits on that Tegra 3 piece, I'd be good for at least 2-3 years before turning that into a gift heh. Anyways, Metro is super hideous no matter how many times I look at it(and I look at it a lot since I'm always following tech news) don't think it'll ever really grow on me.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion obviously. All I can say is that a lot of people like the metro ui on wp7... including IGN which last week gave wp7 the nod for best smartphone interface.
