Windows 8 aka Microsoft BOB 2
« on: 4 June 2011, 21:37 »
Microsoft decided to pull out the whole Microsoft BOB idea again.
Because the Windows team can't design an easy to use GUI for PC's, they ported Windows Phone 7 to the PC (sort-of).

They still have the option to return to regular Windows, I wonder how many people will just do that.

Looks like it would alright for tablets, but absolutely infuriating to use on a PC. The regular UI appears to be the same as 7 as well. Disappointing but not unexpected.

The GUI part gets updated regularly. The "Internet Explorer is evil" page is a great old school read.
