Wow,
I am a windows user and I think the Windows 8 UI sucks!! This UI was designed for hardware having a touch interface and when used as intended, gives satisfaction. One must firs overcome the revulsion at the look of the damn thing. Without a company like apple to POLICE the development of applications and the appropriateness of apps, the metro UI falls FLAT on its face and reveals itself to be nothing but a bunch of tiles in one colour. The assumption that a user will need TONNES of information at a glance leading to designation of otherwise useless desktop real-estate to this cause is something that I am sure Linux will catch up with. Lastly maybe one should say (if so inclined) that KDE, Gnome or Unity (deservedly so) SUCK. But not damn the whole Operating System based on a purely aesthetic standpoint. When it comes to ergonomics, I promise you Linux offers just as many (and as ugly too) icons on the desktop as windows 8 does.

At first I tried to flatter myself but since this is a topic of relativity let me give you the new windows 8 look.
