Amidst the Silence and Sounds

Windows 8 Developers’ Preview: A Short Review.

In as few words as possible (as it’s not worth the effort to waste more): a pile of shit.

For those who wish to know details:

We booted it as a virtual pc os on Jelly’s Mac. Took bloody ages to set itself up, and then… massive disappointment. The whole thing was just childish and primitive.

It also looks set up to be primarily aimed at touchscreens (so, tablets), not PCs. We went into menus and spent 2 or 3 minutes trying to work out how to escape back to the desktop.

I am hugely unimpressed.

But I’m only really blogging because Jelly said to.
