Now we can spread Metro across multiple screens with ease. Great improvement........MetroUgly x2. There are other ways to handle multiple monitors without abandoning a perfectly fine, highly functional OS. (Win7) Buy Windows8 for it's wallpaper handling abilities? I don't think so.

This is something that should have been natively implemented in Windows *a long time ago*. Ultramon has been doing this for ages, even if by using the trick of 'stitching' different wallpapers in memory.

Windows 8 seems to have some nice new features. Unfortunately Metro, and especially Microsoft's stubbornness in forcing users into it and not allowing them to turn it off and revert to the classic Windows UI, is going to ensure Windows 8 is DOA.

Microsoft needs to be taught a lesson, understand that this is the wrong direction to go. The only way we, as consumers, can do that is by keeping our wallets shut.

Whoopee... not impressed at all.

Problem is those 'apps' are el cheapo knock offs of mobile apps and are very hard to use due to the limitations Metro imposes on the layout.

You can get about half the information on screen as without them.

We'll have to wait for Windows 9 i guess when the public has been used as a beta test platform again like with vista.

I'll give it a miss. Btw, Displayfusion also rocks and is fully Windowblinds compatible.

Yeah, Microsoft justifies the design change by calling the older Aero UI "dated and cheesy."

How blind/stupid can you be?! They're insulting every Windows user who updated from XP to 7 in part because of the cool glass UI.

You can see Microsoft's idea of a 'non-cheesy' UI HERE. Personally I think cheesy is their 'brand new design'. Never seen so much FAIL put together.

I agree.  1985 wants their Fisher-Price colored blocks back...

Microsoft has this guy who gets up in the morning and puts his pants on just like you or me. He's a wannabe that wants to get a following and wants to be lauded as a "Guru" among his peers. He wants everyone to hang on his every word....something like a "Steve Jobs". In order for his plan to work, he must convince people that his ideas are the new "cool". Since he is in a position of authority he feels he has the power to dictate what is "cool". So he thinks to himself.......hmmm..." I'll just tell people that "Aero" is "backward and cheesy" and so are they if they don't move on to my idea of "cool" in Windows 8. So all the sheep follow this "wannabe" instead of thinking for themselves and allow a fool to lead a bigger group of fools down his path of fantasy for the sole purpose of self-glorification. ---      I have always had a kind of 6th sense about people , and my gutt feeling is that this is exactly how it went down.

Is it too much to ask for them to let us FINALLY reposition the system tray to the right most monitor?

A single monitor with windows is better then multiple monitors with metro.
