Wow, there sure is a lot of hate about the new Metro interface on the web. I might be the only person that likes it. I don't know what everyone is complaining about, except that people hate change. Not that I think it's perfect, it has some issues, but for the most part, it's really fun to use. I like that I can put all my apps and shortcuts on the start screen and access them quickly, and I like the way it looks. There are only a few things I don't like about it so far:
Running multiple applications is pretty much impossible. If I want a browser in the middle for research, a word processor on the right to copy and paste, and a chat window on the left to collaborate; it can't be done. I could see how it could be done with Metro, but they haven't implemented anything for multitasking so far.
When I add shortcuts to Windows Explorer, Music, Pictures and Videos they show up as icons rather than Metro tiles and clicking them takes me to the Windows 7 desktop with a whole different paradigm and look. This is jarring; I wish they would choose one or the other instead of having two desktops.
You guys can shoot me if you want, but I kinda like it.
