Latest Windows 8 Screenshots Reveal Ouster of Aero Glass UI - Page 2

Easy Rhino · May 20, 2012, 12:08 AM

will windows 8 give us a boost in FPS for games? that is all most people on tpu care about. if you want eye candy go with linux.

digibucc · May 20, 2012, 12:42 AM

This. Microsofts new design is the one that looks cheesy, thats for sure. IDK which moron they hired for the design of it

Things are getting worse.

jalex3 · May 20, 2012, 02:42 AM

Bleh, aero looks better than that I think, plus you could turn it off.
Aero looks good an is nice on the eyes after some turning, with the right background.

OSX looks better than that, but MS just love flat colours. OSX did transparency better anyway.

Though I do think its nicer without shadows, I have them turned off for windows and icons.

rob49152 · May 20, 2012, 03:28 AM

I REALLY hate it when Tech companies go bat-sh*t insane and stop listening to the customer and instead start telling the customer it knows whats good for them and to suck it up and take it up the OS poop chute like a man.

So really I have been hating MS and Apple for a while now.

In this case its not even MS trying to copy what Apple has done and seems to work. Instead lets completely mess up what people have liked about the last version of windows..then pile another suitcase of bad on top of that!

No_Asylum · May 20, 2012, 03:48 AM

I dont know what all the fuss is about. I think Windows 8 is going to be the single greatest achievement in Operating Systems since Windows 95.

LOL!!

I dare anyone to say that out loud with a straight face.

KainXS · May 20, 2012, 04:16 AM

well . . . . . its not like it could be the worst achievement . . . . looks at windows me . . . . . .yep can't be the worst by far.

ms should have won a prize with that one.

Protagonist · May 20, 2012, 04:38 AM

At list when Vista & 7 come they got users upgrading to better hardware, but for 8 they want to get people downgrading to crappy hardware, i don't see the need for OEMs to provide machines with snappy hardware alongside Windows 8. Same as i don't see the need of Quad Cores and above, 2GB of RAM and above, Kick ass cards eg discrete GPUs and above, for this type of shit.

The thing is operative systems should adapt to the hardware found on contemporary PCs. PCs shouldn't need to adapt to operative systems. This is the one of the main reasons why Vista failed. When it came out most PCs were not fast enough to run it. Windows 7 has very similar hardware requirements to Windows Vista, but when it was released most PC were ready for it.

Aditya · May 20, 2012, 05:36 AM

Minimalistic design? If I wanted my PC to have that,I'd have stuck to windows 95.......
That aero glass effect had a bit of elegance to it....

No problem with OS adapting to hardware. Question is why dumb it down and claim its better?

Most of you must not have even tried windows 8. I hated it at first but I am certainly upgrading when it comes out. It is way way way faster when it comes speed and I also like the metro hot corners, once you get a hang of it, it is not all that bad.

Atom_Anti · May 20, 2012, 06:42 AM

Where is the Start button? Are they kidding with me? I have been using Windows 8 since 29. February, but I still hate Metro and missing the functionality of Start button.

This looks good, and I could forget the start button, but with same looking desktop than in Windows 7, I just keep missing the Start menu.

NC37 · May 20, 2012, 06:48 AM

Could be worse...could be...BRUSHED METAL!!!

Did Apple ever grow out of that? Gah I got sick of it so long ago but all they'd do was more and more of it.

I don't see what the fuss about Aero is. I like it.

Better than what windows 8 is at the moment, but where is the start button, start button is what made windows so user friendly

mak1skav · May 20, 2012, 07:14 AM

I hate that i still don't see a "Start" button there

remixedcat · May 20, 2012, 07:31 AM

Looks like a wal-mart grade interface.

lZKoce · May 20, 2012, 08:55 AM

I like it from the screenshots. I didn't use and like the Aero interface, so I am glad they are done with it. It seems pretty good so far.

Aquinus · May 20, 2012, 09:41 AM

Honestly, it looks like an OS designed for a tablet PC and the design for a tower or laptop is kind of absurd.

remixedcat · May 20, 2012, 09:51 AM

that UI would look silly in my dark, smooth, and shiny office... I will say that. I evne tried to use flat black themes and they look like crap in the setting I work in.

MS designed this UI in white boxed rooms with 1000 watt florescent lighting and desks from an industrial supply wearhouse. of course that UI would make sense to them, however in most people's houses it would look like eve from wall-e in a neoclassical designed suburban tract home... very out of place.

lyndonguitar · May 20, 2012, 10:04 AM

Wow... Windows Mac Theme

MrMilli · May 20, 2012, 10:23 AM

They push this ugliness onto people in an effort to promote Metro. Pathetic, that's what it is.

I tried it.... the metro hot corners annoyed the hell out of me, and im far less speedy with metro activated, than without it

I evne tried to use flat black themes and they look like crap in the setting I work in. MS designed this UI in white boxed rooms with 1000 watt florescent lighting and desks from an industrial supply wearhouse. of course that UI would make sense to them, however in most people's houses it would look like eve from wall-e in a neoclassical designed suburban tract home... very out of place. __________________ System:Intel i5 3570K @ 3.4Ghz//ASRock Z77 Pro3//Coolemaster Hyper 212 Evo//16GB Corsair XMS3//EVGA Nvidia GTX 650Ti SSC 1GB//128GB Samsung 840 SSD/1.5TB Seagate HDD//Antec Three Hundred Two//620w Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M//Windows Server 2012 x64 Standard Misc:Samsung SyncMaster P2350 23in@1920x1080+LG Flatron 19in 1440x900//IoSafe Fireproof ext 500GB HDD//Amped Wireless R20000G high power router//APC BackUPS XS1000 UPS Websites: AGNXNetworks//RemixedCat's Place Of Meow Blog
