    Re: Windows 8

    Well, that's horrible. I'd rather run a Linux distro than that! Much rather. It's too clicky!

    Few thoughts I have on it are:
    • How will it run with dual screen displays?
    • How is it 'faster to switch between apps' when you have to cycle through them one by one. What if you're a program-whore and have lots of 'apps' running, it'll take a long time to find the one you want.
    • Why are they calling them 'apps' now, instead of programs? Too much like Apple and iOS.


    Things I like, however:
    • The splitting of the screen made simpler. Though it's just a lazy way of doing it, it does make it easier, as all you have to do is click and drag, rather than resize both of the windows, and you can easily swap out the windows you wish to view.
    • I'm glad they're keeping some of the old features


    There's not much I can think of that I like to be honest... As people have said, it's too much like the dashboard on the 360...

    In Windows 7 you can drag a window to the side of the screen and it will automatically fit to that half of the screen.

    I know it 'snaps' to that half, but the fact you can simply resize it to more or less and the other windows will resize at the same time is just a fair bit easier than having to snap one, then resize, snap another, then resize that too.

    Yeah, it does look easier.
