[OPLINTECH] GCPL: Windows 8 impressions?

[Matthew Augustine]

I was "all thumbs" with it over the weekend on my desktop.   Also the registry
edit that worked in Developer Preview did not work in Customer Preview
edition. 

 

I had a very frustrating time with it.

Subject: [OPLINTECH] GCPL: Windows 8 impressions?

 

Anyone have any first impressions about Windows 8?

May first impression about a month ago was that I needed a tablet or at least
a touch screen.

My impression over the weekend is that I'm not really getting the full
experience on a typical patron desktop.

My final impression is that I'll be well retired and gone before I see what is
obviously an ARM based OS on a public desktop.

Anyone else have any impressions?
