Have you ever used the Twitter app? You have to click and hold the scroll bar and pull it up to refresh. Similar thing with the start button on the desktop. I have to put my cursor in the top-right corner and drag it down and click start. Easier to navigate with a mouse? Sure.
This kinda stuff does belong on a desktop. Apple still maintains OS X and iOS as separate platforms. I'm not sure what Microsoft was thinking here. I'm confident they will tone it down in Windows 9 just like they did with the ribbon. |
As I already mentioned, that is an application. Don't dismiss Windows 8 because the applications are poorly made (not to mention, every windows 7 program still works on Windows 8, so there is no reason you can't still use programs just like you did before).
As for your second point, how long have you been using Windows (not just 8)? The start button has always been in the lower left part of the screen, correct? Rather than sliding, did the thought ever occur to you, just maybe, to go ahead and put your cursor in the lower left side of the screen (just like you had to do in every previous iteration), and just ATTEMPT to click there (even though there is no official start button there)? You'll find a very magical thing will happen. As a matter of fact, it is so magical, that your start menu will appear. How about that beautiful windows key on your keyboard. I'm certain you have one, just like every computer does. Perhaps, just perhaps, just like in all the past iterations of windows, your start menu will appear when you press this button.
People like you need to stop acting like Windows 8 is some horribly foreign thing that we have never seen and will never begin to understand. It isn't that different. If you haven't had the guts to figure things out (or the smarts to just go to one of a million websites attempting to help people despite the insanely minimal differences), and due to this, don't know what you are talking about, stop complaining about it.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
