windows 8 announcement.....i hate it

[clancy]

i personally hate the look of windows 8. they have turned computers into phones now, its all about apps instead of full programs which massively defeats the point of having a computer. not to mention its hugely aimed at touch screen, which a lot of people dont have on there computer..... take a look for yourself.

hopefully there is a good media center section for people that use windows as a PVR

I like the look of W8... some really good ideas in there.

some of the ideas are good, like the screen splitting thing which is better than the W7 one. i just hate how everythings being turned into apps on it. not to mention its all touch screen orientated. he does the whole demonstration with a touch screen, the whole drop and snap thing etc etc doesnt work great with a mouse or mousepad
