It's a different take on an intuitive interface that has steered Microsoft around the patent-heavy seas that surround so many current devices, but does it really work across the broad spectrum of devices that run it? We're not so sure.
With the Microsoft Surface and Windows Phone 8 handsets, the tiles work well. The menus on the Surface also make a lot of sense - you can swipe from the right edge of the screen to access your settings, or from the left edge to multitask or access your recent apps. Despite Surface 's disastrous sales , there's some good if not great points to come out of Windows 8 on a touch-enabled device.
Microsoft's research obviously pointed towards the fact that people primarily use their fingers to interact with mobile devices, and with that in mind, Windows 8 for the most part works a whole lot better than previous versions of Windows ever have in this regard. Users have adapted to touch input incredibly quickly on smartphones and tablets, since the finger is the best available option for navigating content on a small screen despite being responsible for greasy screens worldwide.
This inch laptop review of the Ts coming soon is a great laptop in every way. It is thin and light yet powerful and good for both the consumer and enterprise crowds. It is the poster child for Windows 8 use, except it doesn't have a touch screen. Microsoft has designed Windows 8 to work on such devices, so there should be no problem, right? The answer to that question is a big no.
You can operate Windows 8 without touch by using the trackpad, but it is very clunky, jolting, and downright inefficient compared to touch operation. Even with a good laptop trackpad like that on the Thinkpad, using the Metro UI is frustrating.
Swiping the trackpad all the way across the surface to get to the tiny hidden corner controls to activate a common control, and then swiping back down to the newly exposed control strip is not efficient. It's not easy, either, which is worse. The design choice that requires a swipe from one side or corner of the display to acitivate common controls, and then have to go to the opposite side of the display to work with the exposed controls is not pleasant with a laptop trackpad.
A common example of this is activating the control in Internet Explorer at the top of the screen and then having to get to the bottom to do something with the control.
It's clunky and interruptive to the flow of things. This leads me to want to stay on the desktop side of things when there's no touch screen, the opposite of the UX when using touch. I miss the Glass. W8 is like a really drab XP with no theme support.
Really blah. All the Glass I added to my small utilities I wrote for Vista and W7 just shows as gray flat drab yuck.
I hope W9 brings back the Glass and makes it easier to program. But that's just my hangup. I use 8. Although I have to be honest, I tend to use the keyboard more since I am quite "mouse challenged", and the only issue there is remembering all the "hot keys". As rotor has stated, I too, use the Classic Shell but I do float between that and those crazy charms.
