I love metro map on bf3. so many kills, so many ribbons, so many badges, weapon exp so fast and normal exp so fast. Metro map = welcome to hell son, hope you came to fight because today is a glorious day for death.
WOW, I had no idea that bitching about a new Op system would gather so many thanks from people. Of course if us mortals did that same amount of complaining nobody would be thanking us. The only good thing about this is that if Msoft see's enough of this complaining, whining, ranting, and crying they will surely need to include a classic desk top button. Maybe that is the point of allowing this Consumer Preview to be downloaded for free? Adding that one simple button would shut them all up in a hurry because under the hood, Metro and start button fiasco aside, this is in fact a superior operating system.
Let just people have choice, it's not that complicated. MS is just dumb on this ! Real power users have NO interest of using a crap lego style UI for work. Only facebook addicts can see a benefit in metro ! I'm running xp right now and it's working very well thanks you. My next (last ? ) M$ OS will be win 7 if they persist this way; many feel the same given all the fuzz around forums.
I think every consumer should matter when it comes to marketing. But on the other hand everyone can't be kept happy??
Yes, they can. Just add the option of CHOICE. That's it. When I jumped from Win3.11 to Windows 95, I was amazed. I loved the new interface. yes, it was glitchy, but OSR 2 came along and everything was perfect. But Win7 SP1 or not IS AWESOME and ROCK SOLID, and lego-style is NOT the next step...'cause if MS takes it, it will be a wrong step. I know they are desperate to get much more market share in the smartphone sector, but the desktop and laptop don't fit in that category. It's easy: METRO for "sunday-users" and normal desktop for power-users. PEACE ALL!
Maybe Metro wouldn't look so ugly (lego-style as it was mentioned) and annoying if they fix the horrible squares somehow... maybe give them a 3D look with shadow, just make it not so Windows 3.1/95 looking - just an eye sore!! Something like Win7 style maybe??
