I wouldn't agree. I haven't tried it recently, but I tried Windows 8 in a VM on a Mac Mini when it first came out as a preview release. I found it enjoyable even with just a keyboard and mouse.

Wow. I love how you disagree, but then go on to point out you are anything but an expert or regular user of it, and only used a preview, which isn't even the same as what we real users are using. Let me say, as someone that uses Windows 8 every day it is horrible. It pisses me off regularly. I've detailed it here:

Well, I did use it regularly for about 3 - 4 months, and since it was a preview, I assumed it would only get better.


Third link to your blog post in this thread. You've posted more anti-Windows 8 stuff here than anyone else- so by your own logic I am forced to assume you are an anti-Microsoft paid shill.


Woah, as you've said elsewhere there are plenty of people who do disagree about the utility of the start screen for use with kb+mouse. Personally I've found it just as, and indeed more, efficient than the start menu.
