I've had a bit of a play with Windows 8 and have decreed that it is rubbish.
I don't see how this Metro thing is useful for anything other than a
touchscreen device. I can't see how we would use Win 8 in a corporate
environment as I've got far more than 2 apps open at once and I've got them
all arranged over 3 screens in various sizes. The full screen (well, you
can have two apps with a split I suppose) requirement for Metro apps is just
rubbish.
I installed VS2012 on Win 8 and now my metro start menu is full of all sorts
of detritus as VS2012 installs about a million different components and they
all seem to get there own entries on the start menu.
Does anyone like Win 8? What have I missed?
Thinking back through the ages I've concluded that just like Tiger Woods
games, only the odd numbers for Windows are any good.
Win 3 - good (OK, 3.11 was good but thats just a service pack)
Win 95 - rubbish
Win 98 - good
Win ME - rubbish
I loved ME!
That was the strangest thing about ME - it worked very nicely for what
seems to be a very small percentage of people. For everyone else it
was a crashy piece of crap.
