| 1262428 | 2012-03-01 09:57:00 | I had a quick play with it at various times today, and if Windows 8 were to be released in its current form the OS would be virtually unusable in day to day use. Some Metro apps are half baked (understandably), and the lack of a decent alternative to the Start menu would put some users off. That said, I do like how it managed to find and syncronise all my accounts throughout the OS, even though I only ever entered my Windows Live and Google account details (once each).It also wouldn't connect to the university's WiFi (Windows 7 did just fine), and getting my music collection to show up in the Music app required opening WMP first. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1262429 | 2012-03-01 10:24:00 | If I wanted something this arsed up I'd go download some Mac software. At least it has a start button. :badpc: I mean really, if Microsoft are trying to capture some more of the market share with this OS, they have to be in dream world. |

| 1262430 | 2012-03-01 19:55:00 | It seems that MS is heading towards the wrong direction. What are they tring to achieve? Are they meant to replace Win7? | bk T (215) | ||
| 1262431 | 2012-03-01 20:05:00 | I can't imagine the start menu being like this in the final desktop version - it's nigh on unusable - if it is, there's going to be some pretty annoyed customers. :p In a tablet environment though, very good... |

| 1262432 | 2012-03-01 20:06:00 | Yes, it is ment to replace Win7. It may be great for a tablet etc, but for a desktop OS it really is a nightmare to get to some of your programmes and tools. It least with the developer preview you could still activate the start orb to bring up your start menu/programmes etc, but this time they have removed it completely. Clearly they have not listened to the people and their needs in my opinion. Luckly there will be tweakers and hackers at work already making go-arounds for some of the items MS has screwed up on. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1262433 | 2012-03-01 20:48:00 | I mean really, if Microsoft are trying to capture some more of the market share with this OS, they have to be in dream world. Certainly won't be capturing me if the final product looks much like this. Certainly not something I'd want to actually pay for, anyway. |
