Latest Windows 8 Screenshots Reveal Ouster of Aero Glass UI - Page 3

dicobalt · May 20, 2012, 11:54 AM

Turn off Aero in the Win8 Consumer Preview and you will get window frames that look very similar to this screenshot.

joyman · May 20, 2012, 01:56 PM

M$ should release only odd versions of windows...

remixedcat · May 20, 2012, 02:29 PM

They did the best with the year versions... but most of those are server releases... server OSes FTW!!!

Arctucas · May 20, 2012, 02:57 PM

Just when I thought Windows 8 could not get any worse, Sinofsky and gang proved me wrong...

If the Classic Desktop, with Aero, and the ability for the end-user to completely disable the Immersive UI (Metro) and the Windows Store (the real reason for Windows 8 existence), I will not even bother downloading a copy from my Technet account.

Delta6326 · May 20, 2012, 02:59 PM

lol to me this looks dated and cheesy...

But you know how it works. MS will use a new DirectX version to ramthroat Windows 8 for PC enthusiasts. "This game best experienced in Windows 8 / DirectX 12".

Ok we need to ban everyone using the term M$. It got old a decade ago.

As someone who went from Win98 to OSX to Win7, I have to say that the new Win8 desktop UI looks nice.
The Aero UI looks like the slightly cutesy OSX UI to me.

Moose · May 20, 2012, 04:49 PM

I suppose I should be glad that MS at least try and make their new op different, I think the sum total of new stuff in OSX Mountain Goat or whatever is a new reminder program.

Then again when you have something good like win 7 why bother changing?

logear · May 20, 2012, 04:54 PM

software authors will come up with programs to customize these shortcomings. Remember when XP only came in silver, green and that nasty shade of blue? Patch it. Customize it. I'm guessing that one of the reasons Win8 is faster because of the lowgrade graphics. I know in XP when you set it for "Adjust for best performance" the menu fading, shading and transparencies are turned off, making it way faster. Someone will write a program to add a start button, add an aerolike feature and streamline the waste of space ribbon interface. As usual MS is thinking with tunnelvision.

deleted · May 20, 2012, 05:09 PM

Just so everyone is aware, you can get the Start menu back by installing ViStart, ribbons are disabled by default, and many Windows 7 themes work on Windows 8. You never have to use Metro unless you want to.

Easy Rhino · May 20, 2012, 05:11 PM

why are people complaining about the UI? if you dont like windows 8 then dont use it. windows 7 is a great OS.

u2konline · May 20, 2012, 05:52 PM

Is it just me or does Win8 look just like Windows 7?

lol MS needs to just focus on windows 7. There is nothing wrong with windows 7 and it works perfectly fine with pretty much anything.

micropage7 · May 20, 2012, 06:10 PM

flat and oldies?
it shouldnt call it new interface, and why dont they listen to us to at least give an option to put start menu on the front than using metro that makes your pc feels like phone?

It does when you're not in Metro. And exactly the same can be said about Windows 2000 and XP.

I tested out windows XP sp2 and SP3 on my Quad core with my new card, its horrible man. Crashes every 20 mins, BSOD, horrible mess dude.

Then something is wrong with your build or install and nothing else.

Yeah. I mean Windows 7 is better with newer hardware and all but XP still works "perfectly fine with pretty much anything". So that is a bad argument imo.

NdMk2o1o · May 20, 2012, 07:51 PM

There is no need to have Windows XP these days at all unless you are running a single core with <1GB RAM.

I will wait until 8 is released and most likely upgrade anyway as from what I have noticed is tht it's slightly faster than 7 and uses less RAM which is always a plus.

We know you can disable metro and tbh how many people really benefit from aero? I do use aero peek to switch IE tabs aside from that it has no benefits. Also having settings more accessible for average users isn't a bad thing is it?

xBruce88x · May 20, 2012, 08:51 PM

well i can explain why they did this in one word...

Tablets.

now in many words, the new ribbon as its called makes doing certain tasks on a tablet soo much easier although it will eat up some screen space but its better than ha ing to bring up a virtual kb every time

as for removing the glass look, its less demanding on tablets (remember theyre making an arm version of windows too)

as for the start menu... dont really need it anymore since you can get to you libraries from the quicklaunch on the taskbar, and any other apps can have shortcuts made into "toolbars" on the taskbar as well

That didn't work very well for Windows Vista.

Easy, its called Windows 7.

acerace · May 21, 2012, 05:58 AM

Honestly, I don't like the naming scheme of the new Windows. For example, after XP they name its Vista and after that 7. But this new OS called 8.. Where is the unique OS name?
