Windows 8 has a lot of features to recommend it. It's smaller. It's faster. It's smoother. However, it has three flaws that worry me a great deal.

#1 It's schizophrenic. Is it a tablet OR a desktop OS? It tries to be both…and neither.

#2 Forcing apps to be full screen is obnoxious. Imagine Notepad running full-screen with no border, no title bar, and no menu bar on a 21 inch monitor. That's what a Metro text editor would be like to use.

#3 It's a usability nightmare. Let's assume you can accept/adapt to items 1 and 2. You're adaptable. What's the problem? Answer: The rest of the user base.

the full app screen could bug me.
 
I think there is also a desktop mode for people who prefer the classic desktop view. I usually use programs in full screen, so it probably won't bother me.
