"non-intuitive OS" eh?

Microsoft's problem is that they don't educate the user beforehand, as Apple does. ...I mean, really, is lobster-claw zooming intuitive?

It's new. It's different. You may have to 'think differently' (where have I heard that before)

Anyway, "Metro" is pretty much just a giant "Start" button. ...with some fast info available to those who learn new things.

That said, I really don't like it all that much. It's too 'playschool' ... just like the ipad. But in Windows case, it mixes a playschool overlay on serious functionality. (weird)
