Interesting read. Personally, I kind of like the look of the startup screen they show. Can we discuss this without fanboy comments?

"The classic Windows is still there in Windows 8. Microsoft hid it behind the Metro interface."
That's enough reason for me to keep on walking.

I think this sums it up:
In a very un-Microsoft move, the company created the most radical redesign of the desktop in well over a decade. the people in Redmond arent stupid, but they were in a rut and that rut often led them to just copy rather than innovate. now that somehow someone decided they can -- viola. I dont use a PC but a few times a month, and its mainly using Indesign and Photoshop, which are pretty much the same on both platforms -- but what I cant stand about windows is their "finder". file navigation is a horrible mess for me, no folders in sidebars, no colored folders, no remembering the last place you came from, tons more -- but thats when I want to shoot myself. hope its great, but Im waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I think windows 8 is going to be successful.
If I have to use a non-Mac, I sure hope it's more intuitive than windows XP/7. This is a good thing.

Author is a concern troll--most of his articles read like, "I've used a Mac for X years, but Y concern is a deal-breaker."
