I actually quite like the look of the new flat UI and the new, non desktop apps, even though they really don't seem suited to a desktop computer. I can see them working well and looking nice on a touch device.<br /><br /> I am finding it very confusing where I am in the UI, and whether I will be loading a full desktop or metro (is that what they are called?) app. I don't like the charms and task lists popping up, and not being able to switch between metro apps without the popup list. <br /><br /> It was only a quick go but it all feels a little disjointed and not quite sure what it's meant to be doing. I'm sure a lot of it works great on a Surface but I think I will be reinstalling 7 instead, even though I would like to keep playing with it and like it.<br /></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40913.45&return_msg=40913.41" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40913.45"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40913_46"></a><div class="message" id="message_40913_46"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Chris (CHRISSS)<span class="message_time"> 2 Feb 2014 23:46</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: ALL<span class="message_count">46 of 49</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40913.46">40913.46</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I do quite like the new task manager though, and that it shows the disk activity.
