Personally, I don't really like it. It is way too simple, I could replicate it in MS Paint. It looks unpolished, just like windows 8 does.

I don't like the way windows is going, and I will stick to Windows 7. Hopefully the software industry will move towards linux. I use too many applications that are Windows only, (or windows and mac only), so going to linux is not so easy.

I dual booted with windows 8, and it just seems unpolished... it feels like I'm using 2 interfaces glued together. All the metro applications seem very simplified, and lack in functionality, and the metro interface seems to get in the way of what I'm trying to do. The fact that metro applications use the ENTIRE screen at one time is extremely annoying.

Example: I wanted to play a folder in the metro music player. I opened the application, and I got into a Xbox music store, and the first thought that came to my mind... "I probably am in the wrong application?". After right clicking, the menu bar appears with 2 or 3 buttons, one of which is 'Open'. I click it. Then a file browser appears, so I browse to the folder I want to play. However, I cannot find any 'play entire folder' functionality, I could only open 1 song. After a little messing around I figured that to get it to play the entire folder, I had to include it in the 'Music' library, and after opening any song, I could use 'Next' to get it to play another one (from the entire library however). The next time I tried to open 'Music', it crashed after pressing the 'Open' button.

Example 2: It seems like I am using 2 interfaces at the same time: there are 2 control panels, 2 versions of internet explorer (opening it from the used-to-be-start-menu, I have no idea if the desktop or metro version will open), 2 music players (windows media player is still there) and so on.

Even things that were easy to do since Windows 1, like turning off the computer, take some time to figure out: to turn off I have to move the mouse in the upper right corner, and a few useless icons appear. Than I need to click 'Settings' (even though there are no actual settings there), and from there I can power off.

After using windows 7, I think the Windows 8 desktop theme looks ugly. The taskbar is a semitransparent rectangle with a solid color, and in my opinion it looks very ugly. Maybe I am too accustomed to the windows 7 aero theme, but I still like some of the Gnome or KDE themes...

Also another thing that Microsoft has been doing for some time is removing useful features, so that grandma could use the computer. They couldn't just put an 'Advanced user' mode in the control panel, they had to REMOVE it. Things like... search. In windows 7, file searching is awful, I need to learn a whole new search language to find what I am looking for, instead of the old 'advanced search' in versions up to XP. They are simply dumbing Windows down so that novice users could use it, and driving medium/advanced users insane.

There may be hope in future versions of windows, but for now I am a 'lost customer' to them. If windows 9 will be just as bad (or dumbed down), I will most likely switch to linux, I will make this sacrifice and try to use alternative software (which in many cases is terrible).

PS: Sorry for the long post, I feel relieved to get this off my chest :D
