Only the spread sheet guy is doing work on the computer but his multitasking is also limited to one app, 2 viewed concurrently at most.
Notice each user is only using one app at a time. Notice most of the users are socializing or using social media apps.įollow the spotlight link you will see even more unproductive activities. As of today, there’s still no Win8 driver for my Wacom tablet.įunny thing is, Microsoft proudly shows off how useless Win8 is in the preview “Windows 8: See How It Works” Microsoft under the spotlight section Youtube). Just like the good old days when Vista was released, it’s full of compatibility issues and no video card drivers from the manufacturer. Windows 8 is just another Vista it’s all looks. The post pretty much validates my suspicions. I don’t have any old computers to test Win8 on but TooMan圜omputers tried it. I don’t mind the Start screen which is just a blown up version of the Start button for tablet users, but it seems overkill to take up my entire screen on a PC. I don’t like how the desktop is treated like an app and I don’t like the new navigation features. I tried using the side-by-side feature, placing IE metro and the desktop next to each other but it felt claustrophobic the way it divided the screen (there is a way to have IE only open on the desktop by shortcut or settings). It’s an incredible waste of screen space. The worst one, Microsoft apps launch maximized, at full screen resolution. Again I have to put my mouse in a corner to see whats up. It makes it annoying to keep track of what I have running. Notice Win7 keeps it all together on the taskbar the start button for w/e you need and your running apps visible on the desktop and taskbar.įurthermore, I don’t like how the app I’m using currently disappears from sight when I open another app. One of the most basic and fundamental rules of design is to keep important information together, not spread it out all over the place. It’s a toe-curling, annoying, repetitive action, having to go back to the corner and carefully navigate back to w/e charm.
It disappears if you’re not careful about keeping the mouse pointer close to the edge of the screen. I don’t want to wait for it to slide out and hate accidentally making it pop out too. The act of closing an app is not easy because it’s not a fluid action I encounter resistance moving apps down.Īll these fancy shmancy graphics, charms that slid out from the side, is an annoyance. I have to click on the top off the app and drag it down to the bottom of the screen. Another wasteful movement is closing apps. with the mouse, it takes 2 clicks to shut down on Win7 it’s 3 clicks + extra navigation to the appropriate “charm”/icons to shut down on Win8. Win8 has me moving and clicking all 4 corners of my screen, and in between, to perform simple tasks, e.g. As a PC user, I want to be efficient with my mouse movement and clicks.
