windows 8 is particularly bad on a 30 inch monitor when running its native metro apps in full screen with no ability to re-size anything.
this may work great for a 10 inch tablet screen but its a serious problem for any modern professional workstation/content creation setup.
i also had issues (explorer freezing) with my external USB3 drive even for simple things like copying files back and forth.
it seems like with each iteration of Windows the basic file copy operation gets slower and slower. all this on hardware that's current. (win7 experience score 7.9)
i'd rather be focused on making cheese instead of figuring out who moved it where.
How likely are people using a professional workstation/content creation setup to use metro? Until their creation/development/productivity apps are developed and optimized for the type of machines they use (large monitors, etc..) as metro apps, they'll continue to use them in the desktop as they always have. I think the only time I really see the metro/start screen when I'm in windows 8 is when I'm developing metro apps, everything else I see in the desktop.
Actually the Windows RT apps (metro apps) are REQUIRED (if they want to be in the store) to support split screening and they change their orientation to do so as well.
