Discussion: Are you here for Microsoft's Metro UI?

RastaMentality

Metro is Microsoft's future. It's going to be the base for the UI of the next Xbox (it's already in the current OS). It's the basis for Windows 8 as we all know and it's been the basis for Windows Phone ever since WP7. While getting mixed reactions from some of the public, it's still what Microsoft believes in and will continue to implement because Metro is based off of years of R&D so to throw it away would be a loss. We'll be able to see how the public feels about it come Christmas season. Windows 8 goes on sale October 26th.

This is Metro on Windows 8:

Windows Phone:

Kinda frustrating without Kinect or touch screen. Can't speak for Windows 8 though.

It's good for tablets. Bad for desktops. That's all I have to say.

My desktop has been running 8 since the developers preview

I love the UI a lot and hope it takes over the world

it looks good on tablets
the others is just like MEH!

I think it's only decent when it's on a tablet. Desktops would just be useless, I mean clicking big squares? Kinda inconvenient really. And it's still just really bland.

It's really only great on tablets and Kinect is seems like. On the phone side, it seems like there's a lot going on and it's a bit cluttered.

My classmate has Windows 8 on his laptop.. and I saw it first hand. It was the most beautiful thing ever.

It is ugly and hideous. But I have not used it, so I can't comment on the functionality.

Not feelin it for desktops tbh.

Its a dream on a touchscreen tho

I have a Windows Phone 7 and I love it. It's simple, neat, beautiful and elegant. It just looks so much nicer when seen on device than on these screenshots.
