  • "An unnecessary, unintuitive, pointless upgrade."
    1.0 stars
    on by AJG69

    Pros: Tiles look cool for the first couple days
    Live Updates
    Interface lacks typical Windows clutter

    Cons: The hidden controls on the edges are confusing
    The 'formerly Metro' interface is completely unnecessary for the desktop
    Not intuitive
    Does not work well with mouse
    System Apps Icons are ugly

    Summary: I can see no reason any business would upgrade from XP or Windows 7 for this. Windows 8 only make sense on a tablet - and even then, it is not intuitive.
