it was this accumulation of buttons, and also where you'd find the Windows button if you didn't have a keyboard handy

I found the Win8 keynote and wow they're so bad at actually showing what makes the OS good, like most of the presentation is extremely aimless and not fun at all youtu.be/csWM51sn4iQ

also remember IE10? the multitouch-enabled browser? neither does anyone else

they really tried selling "IE is good now, and also for touchscreens" and no one cared

OneDrive used to be called "SkyDrive"?

honestly I actually did believe in Windows on tablets, but god damn did they mess the UX up, it's basically unusable because none of the gestures make sense

@noiob but the keyboard raised right after you tapped over a UWP text bar while on Win32 apps you'd need clicking the keyboard icon near the systray icons.

@sfner I don't quite understand what you're trying to say, I'm talking about the lack of a start button in the usual place on 8.0

@noiob yep, they changed it because of a copyright dispute I think
