"BGR reflects on recent comments by a Metro designer. 'Metro is a content consumption space,' Microsoft UX designer Jacob Miller explains, 'It is designed for casual users who only want to check Facebook, view some photos, and maybe post a selfie to Instagram. It's designed for your computer illiterate little sister, for grandpas who don't know how to use that computer dofangle thingy, and for mom who just wants to look up apple pie recipes. It's simple, clear, and does one thing (and only one thing) relatively easily. That is what Metro is. It is the antithesis of a power user.'"

    Oh, but there's a one-time tutorial the first time you log in. Well okay, I guess everything's fine then.

    And you didn't even get that until the Windows 8.1 'Bugfix' :D

    So when Windows 8 first came out, we were just left with this [youtube.com]?

    Winning!
