Is there something really wrong with that? I won't spend $10 to go see a movie with bad reviews. Why would I want to spend $40 and quite a bit of time and effort on an OS that most people think is bad?
Ugh, that review leaves plenty of room for FUD. This excerpt for example.
One of the worst aspects of Windows 8 for power users is that the product's very
name has become a misnomer. "Windows" no longer supports multiple windows on the
screen. Win8 does have an option to temporarily show a second area in a small part
of the screen, but none of our test users were able to make this work. Also, the
main UI restricts users to a single window, so the product ought to be renamed
" Microsoft Window ."
They make it sound as though I can't have multiple windows open even in desktop mode. Furthermore, the option to show a metro app side-by-side is neither temporary nor difficult. In my multi-monitor Windows 8 setup I leave the Mail app open most of the day.
