Que tal va Windows 8 en general? Merece la pena pasarse a el?
bad things:-the metro ui is usable only with 2 monitors, it feels like those console games ported to pc, now they made a system for tablets but release it also for pcs...-system is enforcing max. 2 windows per desktop-dumbed down applications with only few options to configure them!!!!! wtfgood things:-feels more 'fluid' than w7-metro can be something really cool, maybe after service pack 5, some things need to be changed for desktops-app market, maybe...
Cons:-Metroit just does not work with a mouse and keyboard. Being able to move many overlapping windows around with an accurate pointing device and a lot of screenspace is why I have been a loyal Windows user since Windows 95. It makes sense, it is productive, and it is very intuitive and comfortable. Metro takes all of that away. Even if your PC is touch enabled, I still find touch itself to be a step backwards. Can you imagine doing retopology work with your grubby fingertips?-Over simplificationnot just with metro, but a lot of the traditional Windows UI has been over simplified starting in XP. Windows 8 takes it to a whole new level with ribbons and fluff everywhere. Hiding options and taking functionality away is the norm now. More and more, Windows has been shifting from a poweruser's OS to a grandma-friendly OS. Great for grandma, bad for those of us who actually use computers and gave Microsoft their success. Metro of course is the epitome of over simplification however. I tried running the Music app and my screen was instantly taken over by Justin Bieber and other untalented artists that I would never be caught dead listening to. Literally, its just pictures scrolling the background with a big giant play button in the center. Never again.-Taking power from the userthis one is big with me, and it all started in Vista. User Account Control and administrator rights just infuriate me to no end. While they can be disabled, you never truly own every file in your computer. I absolutely hate having to take ownership and jump through hoops to change system files. Windows 8 adds to this by forcing people to use the metro start screen, never giving one the power to switch it off. The options for metro apps are pathetic at best, it is obviously a "Microsoft knows what is best for you" approach and I greatly dislike that.-Ugly classic desktopwhen XP was introduced, MS decided it would be good to make the GUI as ugly as possible by only updating some areas. Vista and 7 really added to this with Aero. Go take a look at the disk management tools and you will see what I mean. Windows 8 starts to add bits of metro on top of this--i.e. the file type association prompt, which just makes it even less uniform and clean looking. Metro itself is actually very visually appealing, much better than Luna and Aero, but not when it is mixed in with bits of Windows 3.1.-Pen feedbackcannot be disabled in Windows 8, but this is likely a bug. Very annoying for us stylus users.Pros:-Performancethere is no doubt Windows 8 is faster than 7. It is about time Microsoft cut the RAM usage of Windows, and they did in Windows 8. Everything feels a bit faster and snappier, especially the boot time. Softimage performs beautifully... until it makes my computer hard freeze. Game and 3D performance is at least what it was in 7.-Hardware supportlike all new versions of Windows, Microsoft does a good job of supporting new types of hardware. Got to hand it to them considering how many different types of devices are out there. I commend them for being early adopters of 64bit support.-Graphics API supportI like Microsoft's continued support of new APIs like DirectX 11. I think Windows 8 has DirectX 11.1.-Metro looks very niceThe simple colors and clean lines look good compared to Aero, but while it may be the best looking UI Microsoft ever built, its lack of functionality makes it a big failure.-Better keyboard shortcut supportthe addition of many handy shortcuts, as well as enhancements to old ones (like print screen saving files now) are very nice.
