Comment on Metro breakdown: Windows 8 UI is little gain for lots of pain

Comments

While I don't agree with the tone of the article, it matches my overall experience using Windows 8. In particular, the screenshot of the homepage is quite revealing. A lot of these positive reviews are based on MS marketing videos and someone messing around with it for 30 minutes. But anyone who has tried using it for a few days as their sole OS runs into a lot of issues that can't simply be explained by "beta". There are systemic design issues with Win8 where some "bugs" are by design.

I can't see Win8 being ready before the end of the year…
