Ad Age Tests Out Microsoft’s Windows 8
Posted in: Uncategorized
If you’ve read anything about the new operating system that Microsoft will launch later this week with hundreds of millions of dollars of marketing, you know there is a big divide among early reviewers. One camp praises it as revolutionary, while the other dismisses it as a too-complicated and unnecessary revision.
One of the main complaints from naysayers — and even the pro-Windows 8 people admit — is that the new interface is so radically different from any previous Windows operating system that it forces users to learn a whole new way to use their PC.
The familiar start button is gone, for instance. The absence of a toolbar at the bottom of the home page for easy toggling is another gripe. But is it just the anti-change crowd roaring or is Windows 8 really too complicated for the average user?
