I didn't say I felt like a 3 year old, I said Windows 8 treats the user like a 3 year old as it is a picture book based operating system.
Yes I tried the phone in the store for a few minutes and decided I don't need an OS designed by Fisher Price. Because that's what window 8 provides, the design appeal for a 3 year old. I had a win 8 laptop and gave it up for adoption because those tiles are as appealing as internet ads. This is not eating broccoli, I don't need to try it until I like it.

Nah, I still feel win 8 is the biggest pos os to ever come into existence. Why? Because it insults my intelligence and screams that the users are morons who need giant tiles to navigate. Apparently MS feels that either I can't read or need the excessive visual stimulus that would be appropriate for a 3 year old. Just like how yahoo has replace their old simplistic text format with giant tile pictures of few words, and how ask.com has replace their simplistic question answer text format with giant picture boxes that you need to next through instead of read through, Microsoft does the same thing. Small icons and text has been replaced with gigantic flashing animated tile pictures. While the Android small icon format is intuitive and simple, the MS win 8 grade school picture book format screams "we think our users are dumb stupid"

It's funny how you don't spend a second discussing how well the OS works or anything, just how it makes you feel. Those same large tiles that insult your intelligence so are nice huge targets for faster use. You can even use smaller tiles if you want. In use getting the most frequently needed information without having to open an app makes everyday checking on things much faster, and on my phablet I can clump the apps I use a lot densely in the best area for me to hit in one-handed use, while things like weather which I barely ever open because of the live tile, I've got as big tiles in the hardest to reach corner, where they provide the information I'm usually looking for just fine.

Sadly people like us are in the minority. Most people get scared if too much text is on a screen. Seriously how many times do you see tl:dr on the internet over a 2 minute read? But they'll happily watch some stupid 10 minute video of nothingness.

Having said that, I think Win 8 is superior to Win 7 in most if not all ways. Just don't use Metro.
