This video gives an overview of Windows 8 and some of the risky design decisions Microsoft made in it. It was designed as a supplement to my blog post on the subject at If you want to fully understand my perspective on Windows 8, you need to read the post.
In this version of the video, I show the preview version of Windows 8 that was current at the time I recorded it. I have revised the video to show the…
Spooky shit m8
Oh my. This video is just pure ridiculousness.
should rename the post to "windows rt…" the intel version is still very much windows and runs same apps
lol luv windows 8 wth are you guys talking about LOL
Fuck 8
I think they Beta tested Win 8 on a bunch of glue sniffers.
Win 8 scared the enterprise market off. Most of them are just sticking to Win 7 Pro and server, until they figure out what to do. None of the people I have spoken with have any desire to upgrade to Win 10.
This looks NOTHING like my Windows 8.1 Pro PC.
To me it is not user-friendly if you dolls are desperate expectation of Microsoft I preferred going with Apple more simple to use
Had windows 7 it was infected with virus"s all the time when i went to windows 8 and 8.1 it had built in antivirus and i never get infected anymore plus it was easy to use have a good day.
hate windows 8
Why do so many people go crazy with a START SCREEN, my god everyone went crazy when the introduced the start Menu and now everyone is going crazy cause they removed it!!!!!
I updated windows and it kept updating it restarted and went into the loop again I lost my 20 games homework and my drives I hate windows8!!! Stupid idiots are being brainwashed by Microsoft you are the idiots Microsoft made this crap for now I have problems with windows every fucking day!!!!!!!!!!
To slide that thing up, just tap it quickly.
Why do you not know anything about W8? No offense, but maybe you should stick to W-XP. What do you mean "unintuitive" or "tricky"?! It's easy like freaking walking.
And if that fish is mocking you of not getting things done easily, then you should change your desktop background.
Oh .. I really like to thank you Mr. I watched ur video and learned from you . What I don't understand is those ppl who left a very nasty comment . If you think you have got it , why watch this video..
Anybody laughing at the man. I was like 10 when this came out 2 years ago. I didn't fully get this honestly lol. I still use 7. But Windows 10 looks neat!
Windows 8 has autism. It's simple.
Did you ever try to right click the Windows start button when it appeared? It was one of the first things I did on my Windows 8 when it popped up. Now days with Windows 8.1 the right click still works on the start button and let you access all the important features.
Phew! thank goodness I switched to Mac! Cheers for the heads up.
Winkey + X
Enough said.
I hope they keep the Winkey+C in Win9 as well, the charm bar ain't that bad.
Trolololololol
you didn't show the Windows Store.
Windows 8 suckz
Windows 8 isn't scary, it just sucks dick. Windows developers are trying to make a desktop operating system be exactly like a mobile interface. No, just no. Also, you look like a creepy-ass old pedo man.
Wait a sec.. Ur voice sounds like Tim Cook ! Seriously!!
windows should keep windows 7 and xp both are much easier to use
People who loves Windows 8 are poop eaters.
Nothing's perfect! I enjoy Windows 7 also Windows 8. I have no problem with Windows 8, I love it instead because I feel like I am using smarpthone in my laptop. lol

the only real problem i have with windows 8: It uses too much cpu. in w7 sometimes its at 0% in 8 is between 5-7%
Everybody says Metro UI is for tablets and phones, but the hard reality is this flat-ish UI design is being adopted across the web and in new operating systems. What bugs me about it is the fonts are so big and functions I like to use are hidden behind strange gestures or menues and it looks so goddamn boring. It's not visually stimulating, just extremely minimalist. And rather than having access to more functions, it seems to give me less just simply because I have to struggle more to gain access to it!!
It's like one day I'm playing my gameboy and having fun and some jerk comes by and pulls it away and gives me a yellow inflatable ducky. I ask for the gameboy back, but he's like "Eveyrbody happy do ducky? You're too you try. Fun have."
I'm NOT asking for skuemorphic design or whatever the hell they call it. I"m asking for smaller fonts and more functionality on the screen (not hidden behind mouse movements or awkward menues) and more text instruction or text buttons (text is easier to understand than icons) and to USE the whitespace. I'm also asking for a visually more satisfying experience as opposed to the flat colors which to me are like saying random scribbles on canvas are art. I'm not asking for my calculator app to look like a real calculator, I'm just asking for something that's more than the minimalist flat coloring scheme. Why can't there be a more middle ground?
Yikes! The start button in Windows 8 was MISSING?!?!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
