said by Octavean:I think its a bit of an understatement to suggest that Metro is simply a Start menu replacement. I mean I agree that when I use it I can think of it as such but there are additional menu settings outside of the traditional Start menu that are accessible in Metro mode. I just think its a bit of an oversimplification to think of Metro as an expanded or glorified Start menu. I also fully expect that Microsoft will add even more menus and control panels to Metro in the future making the experience even more enveloping.
Anyway, I can deal with Metro (I kind of like it too now) and you can deal with it but clearly many others are either unwilling or unable to adjust to it. Metrosoft,
.ummmm I mean Microsoft runs the risk of vilifying Tiles,
ummmm I mean Windows and its new Metro interface if it feels like a forced agenda to the user / administrator.
Real or not, if the perception is that Metro is an unusable dog then that is what it will be in the minds of the populous. In some cases reality is what people make it. In other words its the perception of reality, not necessarily reality itself that often shape our world.
Maybe. I do like it better than traditional Start Menu. Way better. I mean I don't see many people going through their "All Programs" list to run their software every time. I see them loading software via pinned taskbar OR desktop icons - that's it. Barely the start menu. And I'm very sure it will improve over time. This is just a start (no pun intended)
And yea there are way too many ignorant people here that just takes others word for it - just like Vista days. I expected it.
