| disolitude said: I have multiple log in accounts on my desktop and one is called "Windows classic". There is absolutely no difference between Windows 7 and this account and the way it's set up. Start button with sub folders, boot to classic desktop...everything is there. I never have to deal with Metro when using this account. So I really don't understand this "designed for touch use" argument. With this fix, its as touch friendly as Windows 7. I didn't mean to sound offensive, I just don't understand people that complain about something which has a 5 minute solution. This is all you need to do - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVhhxXSS2sU Otherwise i will go on record and say that I love the new windows 8 options and flexibility on my desktop. Pending how I feel like, I can decide to log in to classic windows interface only or the new metro interface and use it with a touch screen monitor I have, or a logitech T650 touchpad which works wonderfully. If I get bored of that, I can just use the standard mouse/keyboard combo with the modern UI/classic desktop combination across 3 monitors and have them all scale beautifuly. Windows 7 is not half as flexible as this. |
The problem is the desktop win8 should default to the "classic" setup vs the obviously touch designed Metro interface. Then there should be a suggestion to use Metro when it recognizes you have a touch interface.
Currently it defaults to the UI that is not best suited for keyboard and mouse. Then only the tech savy users will figure out how to set it to classic mode.
The design should default to what is best for that device. Not force a user to be enlightenend enough to just know their is a magical fix.
