Re: Anyone else really hate the Windows 8 interface?
Supposedly there is a \"classic view\" that you can use for Windows 8.
I had the free demo version and tossed it back, as it was VERY COUNTER-INTUITIVE and required several extra steps @ UI navigation. Sadly, I learned of the \"classic view\" after I had already tossed my free version.

The more Microsoft tries to be like a Mac, the more they suck @ being like a Mac. I\'m a PC user and likely always will be. Microsoft should stick with doing what they do well, and that is being a PC. If Windows 8 is any indication of where Microsoft is trying to go ... I might as well get a real Mac. If I wanted a Mac-like experience, I\'d get the one that actually understands \"intuitive\" rather than the one that is trying to mimic it. Win 8 has you traveling all over the darn home page to navigate to unseen areas that are supposedly intuitive for you to know they exist.
Personally, I prefer a logical one, rather than a supposedly, intuitive one based on someone else idea of what \"intuitive\" is. To me, logic is universal ... intuitive is subjective.
