<\/p>\nThis is how I feel when I compare 7 and 8. I haven\u2019t even used 8 with touch yet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your browser, everything-in-tabs paradigm is terrible in every way. Sometimes it crashes and if you say it\u2019s not much of a problem, you are lying. I have virtually never lost anything using native apps. A browser? Enough to never do that again.<\/p>\n
The desktop is terrible. You only use it because like the 20+ tabs BS, it makes you look like \u201cbusy\u201d. OMG icons everywhere, menus everywhere, notifications everywhere JUST LOOK AT HOW BUSY AND IMPORTANT I AM PLUS LOOK AT MY COMPLEX SHINY COMPUTER UI I HAVE ARRIVED. I did it too.<\/p>\n
The desktop is the symbol of 2000s office procrastination and vegetative evenings browsing Digg. It\u2019s still there, and neat when going down the memory lane using 35 years of software history without breaking a sweat but experience wise? Fuck that.<\/p>\n
Fuck your systray and your start menu. Let\u2019s get real and let\u2019s get shit done, that\u2019s how I see Win8 UI after 12 months of usage.<\/p>\n
Full screen by default is great. Yes you can\u2019t fake work now, you can\u2019t do the old window switcheroo but you\u2019re not supposed to anyway. I know, it hurts. I feel like in a game with Win8: getting in\/out fun-to-use-and-yet-serious apps like I\u2019m Mario in a warp zone.<\/p>\n
If I compare the best apps in both Win8 Metro and Win7 Desktop, Win8 wins by far (simplicity, stability, speed) and looking at how much the entire tech industry is copying MS design since WP7 is out (who would have known in 07 that Apple would copy MS design in 13? Not even me), I\u2019m not the only one convinced that that flat, clear as hell, unobstructed UI is awesome. Fuck your chrome, fuck your ugly ass drop down shadow.<\/p>\n
No, Win8 is not perfect because nothing is. Two things that need to change: OEMs and developers.<\/p>\n
Dear OEMs, you are so bad! Trying to sell netbook-class, atom powered tablets at $800 is like shitting in my mouth directly. WTF. Those touchscreen laptops? You can tell 5 miles away that it\u2019s going to feel stupid. How the fuck can you not put the goddamn trackpad in the middle of the fucking computer like that brand, is beyond me. Is there a patent you don\u2019t want to pay or you all are morons or what? Fucking embarrassing. Where the fuck is my 20\u201d tablet? Of course you have to have a 24\u201d with 4K display like anyone would give a damn about an extremely expensive device. It\u2019s pathetic.<\/p>\n
And you developers, shut the hell up about the store. You can\u2019t jerk off on your Apple sales and condemn MS, that\u2019s being a fucking hypocrite. Plus as a user, app stores are quite awesome (easy to check, easy to uninstall, sync). Stop trying to scam people (and fuck up the market that is, your own ass) with free apps and ads, that\u2019s lame. Make great apps with trial. Yes if your app is not great, trials are not going to help but will demonstrate how unpolished your stuff is. Stop focusing on the business model and make awesome shit, that\u2019s like the #1 rule for any business and it\u2019s like you developers are constantly<\/em> forgetting that.<\/p>\n You guys want app ideas? <\/p>\n How about the ultimate GIF maker with which you can capture from stills or videos and export perfectly sized GIFs to social networks? <\/p>\n How about a distraction-free blog app that connects to blog services and allows you to drag and drop pictures in your post without the need of using any FTP shit or annoying services?<\/p>\n Foobar8 anyone? Flickr with all the features? Musician uploader, one interface to upload to Soundcloud Bandcamp et all? Get on this!!<\/p>\n The only reason that I\u2019m using the desktop outside gamedev and obscure old software is because you guys have yet to deliver better apps in the store (so many are pathetic). There\u2019s room, I have some bucks, you guys are missing out I\u2019m just saying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is how I feel when I compare 7 and 8.
