| rocketpig said: Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Metro as a touch interface at all. I think it's a great tablet interface. I simply don't like it for standard desktop work and after seeing it in action, it's pretty easy to see why Apple has kept OS X and iOS at arm's length from one another. Right now, the two interfaces don't play well together, though I think Apple is on to something with their Magic Mouse/trackpad gestures for the desktop. Once you get used to using the surface of a mouse as a second input level for gesturing, you feel really slighted and out of sorts when you're using a traditional mouse. |
Which is actually kind of the same feeling I get when I'm on W7 now. I have this constant itch to press my Windows-key and do something with the start screen, but W7 lets me down every time. 
It's also the same reason I'm really looking forward to having a touch screen laptop with Windows 8. My personal dream device would be something like this where I can just plug in a mouse if I need to use something that isn't designed for touch, but otherwise just doing the gesture dance.
