... pretty painful to look at!
Teletubies on top of
Metro?
Ouch! To quote Costello:
It's in my eyes....

Ok... deeper in the articles we find this gem:
Blue is
optimized for power efficiency. ...when sleeping an ultrabook would remain
connected to Internet-based apps such as email and social networks, so it
remains constantly up to date.
Constantly sending out queries for
updates? Doesn't sound very power efficient to me.

Just thinking about using a touch-screen that size. MS really needs to go back
to usability testing, but I suspect the bling (or is it Bing) is more important
to their marketing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

From the PJ's comments policy:
No foul language or links to porn
or other such
things. That includes initials and ****s. I can figure it
out,
and it is no different in effect therefore. I just
really don't enjoy reading
that day after day. So if you
would humor me, I'd be very
grateful.
A lot of us appreciate the atmosphere PJ has managed
to
achieve here. Please don't mess it up. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

A couple of my friends want a new computer and are locked in to Windows programs
(audio music production and publishing). They already know not to buy Windows 8
without my advice.
I spotted an article about a leak of an alpha version of the Windows Blue
release and so I checked to see if the desktop mode had reverted to multiple
overlapping windows and a start button.
All of the 'improvements' are for the new Teletubbies interface. So far it seems
that Microsoft don't plan to make Windows Blue of use to computer users.

"Metro is a new programming model that will lock organizations into the
next generation of Windows."
Well, at least they're up-front about the intent. Fortunately, organisations
are not sucking down the kool-aid quite as fast as they'd hoped.

There's something disturbing about Teletubbies programs. Yes, I know they're for
1-4 year olds. Teletubbies and Windows 8 is brilliant. MS should use them in
their advertising. Eh-Oh![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
