Now the real telling one is that John C Dvorak  who is normally a
Microsoft apologist called windows 8 " an unmitigated disaster; unusable
and annoying; it makes your teeth itch"

tech componies and reporters are turning there nose up in droves at win
8's interface (no longer called metro due to trade make issues) I am
willing to bet people will as well.


I personally like Metro. I find opening apps with the Start Screen is faster than opening apps, and scrolling with the scrollbars in the Windows 7 Start Menu.
