[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

One of the major changes that Microsoft announced for Windows 8’s interface was the lack of the Aero Glass that users were already accustomed to in Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

Interface looks fine to me. I am happy with the Basic theme I am using On Windows 8 RP.

I'll forever stay on the 8400 build then . I like the aero glass ...

 

[samit]

may be there is option to enable or disable aero glass....

 

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

No. They will completely drop the Aero Glass in the final version. But surely someone's going to create a patch to make it work, like how they created one for Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic.

Without aero glass ----------------------------I would better stick with 7

Well with Aero Interface its like more awesomeness OS and good looking to the eye.

For Windows 8 since a pretty fine on that style but if they remain with transparency feature then its better.

Nothing I can't easily adjust too honestly. Looking forward to installing the final and giving this a go.

I like the new look.
Windows 7s Aero interface has always been pretty but somehow distracting.

I kinda like it if I'm honest

Yes I too have never loved aeros cartoonish effects. So I am happy with Win8s UI

I like Aero because you can have transparent "glass" effects. Hope we will have the option to enable it.

To be honest, I prefer a matte look than the transparent glass effect. Only reason I haven't change it yet in my system is because I can't be asked to find a decent grey theme.

I suppose there will always be 4 types of audiences:
1 - audience that likes and embraces new ideas
2 - audience that refuses to embrace new ideas for quite some time
3 - audience that doesn't particularly like new ideas but is keen to give it a go and give it some time.
4 - audience that doesn't really care so much about new or old ideas as long as they can customize accordingly (I fall mainly on this category)

Considering that I've used XP until SP1 for Win7 was released I probably belong to #2 (audience that refuses to embrace new ideas for quite some time). Another issue with Win8 is that it requires a learning curve. Most companies are still on XP and I doubt that they will invest in training their personnel to use Win8. Companies will probably switch to Windows 7 and skip Win8 (as they did with Vista).

Yes I have a serious douubt that W8 will be skipped. But I have one more major doubt too. I think once apps come up for metro and users start accepting it W9 will see completely switchover from Normal desktop mode to a metro based common UI. I think w8 was released so that users and adjust and new apps pump for metro.
