So I got ahold of Windows 8 RTM for a sneak peak...
MICROSOFT! WHAT HAVE YOU DDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
You monsterdly monsters, you bastardly bastards you completely removed the start menu! It’s not even buried in the code, it’s gone completely! As a result I have to dig through the Metro UI to:
Log off
To Shutdown or sleep or restart or hibernate you have to log off first to do this, I am not joking!
Any program that uses multiple executables DO NOT integrate well with Metro! Try installing VMware Workstation 9 only to be shut of most to the features because a panel is not created for them in Metro! Hell the Virtual Network Editor has to be manually browsed to!
Picture, video, document, ect views should not start full screen EVER. There is no need what so ever. PERIOD. Especially when the document viewer does not display documents are a visible zoom!
To exit any of those ALWAYS FULLSCREEN windows you have to alt+F4!Almost everything on the Metro UI requires a Microsoft account too.
Hell you have to create an account during the installation process otherwise you can not install Windows 8This is absolutely positively fucking atrocious to unprecedented levels of atrocity...there are no words that do not delve into angrish to describe the utter "oh god what the fuck were they thinking" levels of agrgargrjrgrkrgkh MAIM KILL BURN.
The only good thing was "Windows to go" which allows me to boot Windows 8 off USB devices seriously fucking fast. And then I discovered that Windows 8 Pro not only Enterprise could do that.
Please, tell me they're at least keeping Windows 7 support
Why wouldn't Valve do that?
I don't think they'd drop Win7, but...some bitches is dumb.
Like whoever thought porting the interface for the 360 Windows Phone over to the PC 360 and calling it an operating system update would be a good idea.
Fixed.
Oh god you do not know the half of it. Xbox live (aka "Xbox service") services are intertwined into Metro. Microsoft does not want to port an Xbox interface to a PC they want a PC to
be an Xbox.
