You most clearly dismissed Microsoft's research on the Start Screen vs Start Menu productivity and usability. No, for the millionth time, I am NOT talking about having to love BIG COLORED BOXES. I am talking about number of mouse clicks, number of steps, distance travelled by mouse, number of...

Your post is so full of irony -- doing almost the same things you (wrongly) accuse me of doing. I can point all of them one by one, but it's not worth it to a sad person like you. However, I found this one too hard to resist: Wow, you should probably receive a national award on irony for this...

OK, I admit I did confuse "create" with "find and develop" -- but your statement still doesn't hold water. Sabermetrics is not just good for evaluating MLB level players. It's good at identifying young talents too -- much more so than old-fashioned scouts. Old school scouts looks for those...

Yes, Sabermetrics does not create talent -- but neither do scouts/managers. That's not the point. Players who used to be underrated in previous eras are being appreciated these days. For example those with low batting average, but high walk rates. Also, winning pennants involves winning a 5...

I never asked anyone for silence. I wanted a logical debate. On the contrary, Metro haters told me on several occasion that if I love the Metro UI so be it and that I shouldn't try to express my love affair with the gorgeous Metro UI. Why would you want access to the desktop while you are...

I did not talk about Metro APPS because Windows Store has not opened as yet, and those "preview" apps in DP are not made by professionals but interns at Microsoft. Only AFTER professional apps appear on the Windows Store can we talk about them. I talked about the START SCREEN. How does the...

I said Metro Start Screen is more productive than the fugly old classic Start Menu -- as has been proven by Microsof't blog posts and my own usage of almost 5 months. ONCE again, I challenge you to give me ONE scenario where the Metro Start Screen takes more effort to do a particular job than...

Touch-first does NOT mean touch-ONLY. As Microsoft said over and over gain keyboard and mouse are going to be first class citizens in Metro world. And they have PROVED it with Metro Start Screen. The Metro Start Screen is FAR more productive and keyboard and mouse-friendly than the fugly old...

Ha ha you are so incredibly ignorant on this issue! For the millionth time: Metro is NOT a touch-only interface. It is NOT a tablet interface. It is equally productive to use with a mouse and keyboard just as it is with touch. Metro apps are going to be incredibly rich and productive. They will...

No, I do have a very good idea that it works. I do know that the Metro Start Screen is FAR more productive than the fugly old classic UI. I have been using the Windows 8 DP every single day as my main and only OS since day 1. I am simply loving the productivity improvements the Metro Start...

If this is all about your PERSONAL preference, then you do understand you can't expect Microsoft to incorporate with your ideas in their operating system? I thought we were discussing what will be beneficial to MOST Windows 8 users, and consequently included in Windows 8? For example, Windows 8...

I would like to hear what problems you have with Microsoft's SCIENTIFIC arguments. First of all, you get the EXACT same thing with the fugly old Start Menu that you love. EVERY little unwanted piece of crap gets added there and bloats up the list. So, there's no way Metro is WORSE. Yes, this...

This is gorgeous. Even the installer is looking awesome.

I NEVER said you have to say you find Metro beautiful and gorgeous like I do. I'm well aware of beauty being in the eye of the beholder. Personally I find the iPhone and Android UI fugly, crappy and designed by a brain-damaged retard. But obviously many people think the iPhone UI is the best...

SCIENTIFIC research is the be all and end all of anything. It's totally ridiculous to suggest that MOST people don't like Metro. It's just that those people tend to be more vocal. Microsoft's research has shown MOST people would benefit from Metro on the DESKTOP. That's why they will NEVER...

@Coke Robot: That was honestly one of the best posts about Windows 8 I have read. I think your post sums it up perfectly. This post deserves to be made sticky in any Windows 8 forum.

Microsoft has done EXTENSIVE research on usability data, and posted the details on their blog how the new Metro UI has made things faster and more productive. That is SCIENTIFIC study -- not the lame excuses Metro haters put out. I have not so far seen ONE Metro hater dispute Microsoft's claims...

A good example is some people complaining about the fact that Start Menu has been replaced by the Start Screen. Microsoft has clearly explained with great detail why the new Start Screen is FAR more productive than the classic Start Menu for any kind of task. Evolving the Start menu - Building...
