Re: What are the substantive reasons to reject Windows 8?

I believe that 'usability' and interface design is a substantive issue. And as a dual-screen desktop user, I think that the lurching context switch into a different display, just to start a new program, seriously affects usability.

To overcome that negative, Windows 8 would have to be offering something I really wanted, and I have not heard what that might be.

(My Windows creds: have adopted every version since NT 3.1 up through Windows 7, including running Vista on at least a couple of machines in the house -- we typically have 6 to 8 operational computers. So I've seen plenty of Windows GUI style changes, and prior to 8, the only one I didn't much like was XP; I ran that in 'classic' style).
