I was playing around with one in VMbox and I was not impressed at all. I can see it working on a tablet or smartphone, but everything just felt awkward using the mouse. I also ended up having to lookup how to get back to the Metro UI which is definitely not good for the older users who got their PC's back when Windows 95 came out.
That said though, this idea that everyone who is running Windows 7 is immediately going to upgrade is kind of ludicrous. The gimmick crowd will, as will the people who feel compelled to run the newest thing, but from what I've read, most upgrade users have just started the transition from XP to 7 so the idea that they're going to go and drop another 200 dollars is just kind of... not right. I'm curious how long it will be until OEM's start pre-installing it on new PC's, and if the rumors that you can't actually wipe it off are true. I think the biggest deciding factor is going to be how well games run on it. I know a lot of users only keep Windows around because they need it to game, hell that's the only reason why I have a partition still. |
