Ya, I'm not a basher of MS and generally like their products, but even Ill admit 8 came with a bitter pill of out of the box intuitiveness severely lacking. Especially, for traditional PC use.
Metro is in no way faster or more convenient than the start bar. Just keep that and provide larger desktop icons that are live and you've got your "tiles" This whole corners hot zones to pull up menus and functions is really disjointed as this stage of its implementation.
And, yes I had both my mother and girlfriend confused as **** trying to use my laptop.
Now, count me as someone that actually thinks they're done some good things with their new mobile platform.
