Why The New Gmail Sucks

I normally use linux but thought i'll try w8. Installed it on dual boot and played around. Wanted to restart it so I could boot to linux. Had to google how to shut down w8.

Don't you know you just hover the mouse in the magic spot and then move it up quickly when the magic charms bar appears? ;-) I am fine with Win 8 in desktop mode but every once in awhile, I'll click to open a file and be thrown into tablet mode and then you're in a different world.

Whoever thought 'hover the mouse in the magic spot' was a good UI advancement needs to be shot, repeatedly.

I think it's safe to say that if Steve Ballmer thought it was a bad idea, then it wouldn't be that way. All of his post "retirement" statements seem to be made in the mood of a man who didn't leave voluntarily, so he was forced to walk the plank over this and an accumulation of mistakes.

Metro largely threw discoverability out the windows.

(ps: I had the same problem)
