Default Another Perspective on Win 8 - Paul Allen

Hi, Winston.

Interesting read. Even Paul is mystified and frustrated about some of
Win8's "features".

But, like me, he likes Win8 overall and is looking forward to seeing some of
its rough edges cleaned up "in the next release". SP1, anybody?

Quote from the final, "Conclusions" section:
Windows 8 does certainly require a brief adjustment period before users
become familiar and comfortable with the new bimodal operating system.


Desktop PC users, with only minor tweaks and adjustments, should be able
to pick things up without much trouble. I am sure most the minor issues I
pointed out will be addressed in the next release of the operating system.


Perhaps he should have used some words other than "brief" and "minor" in a
few places. :^{

And he wasn't limited to the RTM Enterprise Evaluation Edition, as I am for
now, so he could run Media Center and FreeCell!
