Hi,

microsoft replaced the start button with a desktop
area that contains the favorite apps and all apps.
It's cool with a horizontal navigation. You see all
your dear computer things at the same time, so
you stop to comtemplate all your dear computer
things.

please, place the dash panel in the desktop area.
the launcher takes the role of favorite apps, the
dash panel takes the role of all apps.

I don't like your nos. I want brainstorming. I want
this suggestion to evolve into something meaningful.

How has windows 8 inspired you?

Best regards,
Pedro Bessa


For now, about everyone seems to hate metro, it was probably a very
bad idea from them, i don't think we should copy it in any way…
useful or not, people love having a deskop.
I think they hate Windows 8, because the Windows 8 UI is a layer on
top of the Windows 7 UI and while using Windows 8, sometimes you
normally see the new Windows 8 UI and some other times, you
surprisingly see the old Windows 7 UI like Microsoft is undecided, but
the new Windows 8 UI, that is, the layer on top, looks beautiful and I
want us to find inspiration in that beauty and do as good as it or
even better than it.


I remember seeing this video, which was very telling about how people will react to metro and to the switch of interface.

They'll be lost, and lost users are usually pretty unhappy.
