Reconciling 2 Worlds With Windows 8.1
19 Oct 2013 • nytimes.comPogue:
The fundamental problem with Windows 8 hasn’t changed: you’re still working in two operating systems at once. You’re still leaping from one universe into another — the color schemes, fonts and layouts all change abruptly — and it still feels jarring. There are still too many duplicate programs and settings, one in each environment. And you still can never live entirely in one world or the other.
Microsoft's ball-and-chain is "legacy"... they just can't seem to let go of it or even work up the will to try. Long live WindowWorld!
