Have y'all actually used the Metro Interface for any length of time?
Sorry about that, it was a legitimate question, however.Have y'all actually used the Metro Interface for any length of time?
Why do people assume disagreement always comes from no good reason? I've used it and I hate it. In fact, I'm using it and hating it at the same time. It's been on my laptop since the dev release came out.
...Do you think that they will pay huge amounts of dollars to get it wriiten in WinRT or Javascript like MS want them to? No way.
why the desktop users have to suffers through this single focus interface?
Leave the touch and Javascript programming to the mobile device and keep the keyboard, mouse and regular programming (C, C++, C#, VB.net, Java, etc) to the PC and laptop area.
In find it [Metro Start Menu] incredibly pedantic looking, like a bulletin board for 4th graders, bloatish, intrusive.
Actually, the Metro Start Menu is less of a bloat than anything previous.
You can customize it to your heart's content.
1. Maybe but think that when you turn Win8 for the first time and they are welcomed by the Metro atrocity, I don't think they will search for long, they will ditch it....Do you think that they will pay huge amounts of dollars to get it wriiten in WinRT or Javascript like MS want them to? No way.
Where does it say they have to? And where does it say they have to use the new interface? You do know it can be turned off with a simple edit to group policy or the registry, right?

Their are two interfaces in Windows 8, not one. So their is nothing to suffer.

Umm how does adding Javascript to the mix of programming languages make things bad? You can continue to use C++, *.NET and all the other programming languages you learned. Javascript was merely added as another option, what is the big deal about that?
I think you need to step back and take one giant chill pill.

Who is they? Since we are talking about businesses, it will come to the IT department, a simple change in group policy. As Win8 rolls out, grabs the policy, turns off Metro. Greeted by the old classic Windows UI. None-issue.
Agree - MS may have made a mistake releasing the WDP to the general public. Win8 may be getting a more negative image than it deserves.WDP isn't win8, so hold the horses.
True, but if you're a business using XP then what's the incentive to buy 8 over 7? Or the incentive to go from 7 to 8? 7 will be the cheaper option, and even though there are nice improvements with 8, without Metro they aren't that dramatic.
Office for ARM is already in the works, Windows 8 will not be out until 2012, beginning of back to school. Office 2012 it might be called, otherwise Office version 15 will be out with an ARM version. However, for business, Office on ARM is the least of their concerns. Legacy business applications hardly work on new versions of Windows, they will never work on ARM.Businesses are also more likely to buy ARM portables and then you run into a possible legacy Office problem, which may not be a problem if MS gets Office out there for ARM

Right...somehow I don't think you have thought this though. Javascript does well on desktops, the entire web uses it. Some of those web applications are just as big and complex as any desktop application. Heck, Adobe made a skimmied down version of Photoshop as a web application.
