How? By adding a completely pointless ribbon?
No, They fixed the File copy transfer speed, It hard to say what they fixed. But I know it does run faster then's 7 explorer.

Here's the thing. Even assuming you like Metro (personally, having seen it in action, I hate it), it's a very schizophrenic OS. The Desktop and Metro are completely segregated. If you open a Metro app, then pop into the desktop for something, you might as well have switched computers. The Metro app won't show up in the desktop, so you gotta switch out of desktop and back to Metro to use it. But now all your desktop apps aren't available; you have to switch back to Desktop. It's a pain. And multitasking with Metro apps is a pain, much more difficult then with the desktop programs. It's just... it's bad design, plain and simple.
Well sometimes I can see how some might say that. Now I've haven't had a problem multitasking with 8 and the Start screen (Formally Metro).
I've already mastered using 8. I can do all the same stuff I did on the other windows systems like there was nothing different. It just takes some time to get used to it.
I just don't think its bad design anymore though, It seems like some good design to me. after using it for awhile I don't think I can go back to any of the old systems...

And let's not forget, as it's been brought up before, Microsoft appears to be trying to get rid of "Legacy" applications and moving towards a closed platform (something Windows RT, the tablet version of Windows 8, has already done). I shouldn't even need to explain why this is a bad thing.
I think they are trying to make legacy applications not run on their tablets only. I mean why would they ditch Legacy apps for desktop's that would be complete and udder stupidity.
If they did do it in the future. I'm sure it couldn't be too bad?
