>The original About Face is quite dated now, but yeah, Microsoft has made lots of mistakes in its UI. Remember Bob? But, Microsoft has also done a lot to move Ux along. Many people here swore off Metro when it first came out, but it won lots of design awards and even Apple tweaked the iOS UI by adopting many of the Metro ideas.


Get real. I don't know anyone outside of the few tablet users who really use metro. It has no place on a desktop computer.


WTF, which einstein thought it was a good idea to remove the start button and introduce metro in Windows server 2012? Are you nuts?
For tablets and phones where people use touch screens I see the point, but it really has no place in an environment where you use a mouse, and has absolutely no place in enterprise applications like Windows Server 2012.

That ones responsible for making that decision should be executed on the spot.
