If MS is simplifying the Windows interface, this is long overdue. I was once a PC geek, but not so much anymore (still a geek in other fields though). When I turn on the computer, I just want to get my work done, not fuck around with settings or try to sift through all of the control panels, which seem to be getting more convoluted each version of Windows MS puts out. The screen shots of the Win8 control panel look nice. FINALLY they get it, simpler is better. Also nice to see they got rid of all the gaudy icons and 3D/translucent crap.
What concerns me though is that I still haven't seen much in the way of application interfaces and managing the file system. Stuff that I'm spending 99% of my time doing. I don't care if you put facebook on the start screen, is file management any better? The article implies that it will be more or less hidden and use of the term "classic" doesn't make me feel confident that they will fix any of the longstanding annoyances I've had with it. Ditto. I still use the same installations: XP Pro. SP3 from 2002(?) and Debian/Linux (KDE v3.5.11) from 2005(?) because they work fine. I will get 7 or whatever later on when I am forced. |
