The Building Windows 8 development blog has been an interesting read for a while. Hearing straight from developers and then seeing unfiltered responses from users and secondary devs is refreshing, even if the topic isn't particularly compelling or I don't agree with their design choices. Today is perhaps the most extreme example of this so far. The discussion of their new Windows 8 file manager is worth reading — but is the file manager worth using? The new ribbon UI for the explorer window is so cluttered with different-sized buttons, labels, multi-part icons, and tabs that I can barely parse it. It's more like a hall of mirrors than a task-oriented workspace. Is this really the new, streamlined Windows?Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/y6gKd71Q5ck/
