Tell it to a hundred million consumers. Train them. They are the audience for this new "paradigm". Forced change is painful. Just ask my six year old, he throws a fit any time we replace something old with something new, and immediately proclaims just how terrible the new thing is before even trying it, sometimes before even seeing it.
Because it isn't what he is used to. It is different. Not because the change is bad. Is the new system completely intuitive? Is it easy to pick up? Yes, once you get over the fact that our old friend the Start button is no more. Sorry if I offended you by using an anecdote - the actions of kids are simply an easy way to explore the actions of adults.
Growing up doesn't change base instincts. Most people myself included tend to have an immediate distrust of change when it is not change that they are instigating, when it is forced upon them. What better example is there than a child, where many big decisions are made for them?
As for the new interface, I didn't catch on until it was revealed to me or I hit my head against the wall, can't remember , so I'm not saying it is easy. Better education is needed, but going back to the old way doesn't help.
The five or six questions I have answered today are questions that I myself had, and wished someone had answered for me. This is a drastic change from old versions of Windows. I even told my boss yesterday that I can't see his company I'm a contractor switching any time soon - too much new stuff to learn.
That being said, once there are some good training tools available, I d o believe that this OS will be a good choice - it does feel more intuitive after only a few days of use. A training course is likely necessary for new users, however my guess is that this will wind up being a beneficial change long-run for IT departments, because the system does feel more aimed towards the casual user.
No matter what program you use, the search and settings are in one easy place. I admittedly do not have a lot of files in my Skydrive, however the file that is there is purple, while the folders are blue. Not sure if all files are like that, and I really do not have the time to explore those differences.
That being said, the number in the bottom-right seems pretty self-explanatory, the number of child elements in the container. I barely remember the old Skydrive interface, however I do remember it felt clunky. Whether or not the changes are a true improvement , it does feel more streamlined. Metro or whatever it is called now is confusing. It is scary. My word, not yours, nor am I trying to imply it. It is definitely different from the past. But it makes sense.
Microsoft didn't exactly pioneer this idea, either. Apple has been creeping in that direction for a while now. As I said previously, I can move around faster in the new Start menu than I could in the old, and I can actually do more without ever putting a hand on the mouse - for anyone that is waist-deep in computers, regardless of their specific job, that tends to be a good thing.
There are a lot of growing pains here, for both Microsoft and the consumer. Has MS gotten it right? Not yet, not entirely, but the goal is clear. If your complaint is on broken functionality, then I wouldn't disagree with you.
There is plenty of that, and I think it was a bit foolish of Microsoft not to have a Connect site up for such things. If I'm wrong on that, and there is one, please point me that way. I'm still stuck with Explorer. As for disliking the big changes, well, I can't agree with you on that at all. Again, it wasn't an easy transition, but now that I'm here, I don't want to go back. I want the true bugs fixed, but not having a search bar seems more like being stuck on old ways of doing things than a real problem.
That kind of thing can even lead to puking. Unfortunately, you took my words out of context, from two different subjects. My comment on Skydrive was regarding the differences between the old and new interfaces, and was not at all about the usability of the new interface.
Consistency across platforms must be done in at least two ways, as Microsoft only has control of Microsoft platforms. The skydrive ap p does not have that search box, as it is an app. It will run on any Win8 platform. The Skydrive sit e does, as it cannot rely on the Win8 search function. Microsoft is forcing you to jump in head-first with Win8, so there isn't a search box where one is not needed.
Not needed, as it is redundant. This obviously will not work with the web version, as the Win8 search jewel is not there. Age rating For all ages.
