Re: [WIN8] Biggest reinvention ever? It kind of proves a point when you say your wife can do this and you're speaking on her behalf. That is exactly the point being made here by some. Everything about W8 user-interface is over-simplified.
My opinion comes from running RC on a primary partition for two months.

I don't understand the problem with simplifying for the user. Power users can still get in there and do what they need. Coming up with a single simple UI over all their devices is a great idea. If that requires simplification for the user, then I see no harm.
Simplification has worked for Apple brilliantly. Morons can and do use Apple devices. It caters to the lowest IQ. Simple business logic.

kudos:8 | I find it ironic that all these people complaining about dumbed-down user interfaces are pointing to the Windows user interface as an example of a not-dumbed-down user interface.
Here is a user interface that does not insult your intelligence. |

Simple business logic. It's a UI designed for a touch interface, why isolate a big portion of your user base. Good luck on getting corporate and IT pro's to see the logic here. |

| We don't have a single touch device in the house (other than for non-Windows tabs). No one seems to have much of an issue at home with Windows 8 and keyboard and mouse control. The problem really only lies with all the IT experts around here. The normal user will get used to it with no problem--at least my user base ranging in age from 10 to 43 has and it's only been a few days.
Personally, all this angst seems manufactured to me. I perceive it more as a "Crap, I'm not the expert with Win 8. Whoa is me if I can't puff my chest out anymore as the Windows maven." All the self-called IT experts are the ones that fear change and forward movement. It's like the heavy-glassed nerds are losing control. Regular users struggle a bit, learn what they need and then move on with their lives. It happens all the time. Bitching and moaning by the "experts" while the regular users just march on.
