OMG, did they call WP UI modern?

1. All devices look the same, no personalization
2. You have to look at each tile for tiny bits of information against centralized interactive Notification center of Android
3. The multitask management is awful, no swipe to delete gesture like Android
...
and can there be any launchers possible?

Yeah, and not in a whim. Why is that so surprising?

1. Customization is at middle level. Above iOS and below Android
2. That's not a bad thing, I can also say that you have to look at the centralized info center... Are we so lazy that we can't even take a LOOK?
3. Do you imply that Windows should just copy the swipe gesture of Android? I don't think so.

I'm not Android hater, in fact I love it. Just that your post is underrating WP8 so horribly than it deserves. Remember everyone, WP8 is meant to fill the gap between openness of Android and strict closed ecosystem of iOS.

I'm with you man!!
I don't know what the outcome will be if Windows had customizable icons and widgets like Android.
We won't be able to differentiate between them!
And thank God Microsoft left it this way because everyone and i mean everyone (!!!) can easily differentiate between Android, Windows and iOS.
+1

2. That's bad thing when you have a lot of live tiles spreading several pages, then you have big troubles kepping track with all those tiles.

3. I agree that WP should not copy Android but it should offer something equally convenient or better, Right now it cannot.

I think WP has an important role but what I'm criticizing is WP's failure to fill it.

meh i can eaisly track a tinny little tile thats because they are perfectly sorted and when we set it we know where it is. you will say that cuz android icons are tiny and hard to find when u only have to identify the logo not the name of app or take the whole thing to home screen :P i know that is harder for android cuz i used symbian S60 and android UI is symbian copy

Lol so creating an organized folder of categorized apps is.... Confusing or boxes that look alike riiiiight millions of people are just idiots then

74. saiki4116 (Posts: 405; Member since: 31 Mar 2011)

yup,you are right man...the live tile looks sexy when shown on ads,but when you populate your screen with so many of them,organizing them would be definitely a mess....in android i keep widgets in home screen in a classified order like one screen for social networking,one for chat,one for productive apps...

I've been wondering what type of mod community W8 will have. If they can hack in launchers, that'd be a major win.

36. gothicheart (Posts: 83; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)

yes, there are launchers possible, on the android market, several actually. now you can change you're crapdroid to WP ui. enjoy what you've missing on android... :)

"All devices look the same, no personalization..." did you see the video with MS´s Belfiore comparing the screen layout among Android and iOS??? Those screens maaan......: boring.

68. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)

place 100 SGS3 off what is the difference between them all :\ now turn them all on except home screen what is the difference nothing dont know what personalization u are crying about

55. GoodFella (Posts: 112; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)

Did you forget that android copied webOS with the "swipe to delete" feature? Stop being a fanboy, son. All OSs have many similar features. I like where Mas is going with this.

65. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)

yeah because WP is not a copy of android its a differnt thing and it donest even need stuff u chanting it is well made to double check all what u saying very effectivly i believe u didnt used WP at all and from adroid u will obviously think negitive that what fandroids do

I wish, I'd love them to give me all the MS goodies.

69. tusshharish (Posts: 342; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)

the poll should have one more option
BETTER THAN IOS UI

78. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)

I like it as well and have since my Zune HD. Just Different. It looks good as well. I do miss 2 things from the Zune like the augmented reality when tilting the Zune and being able to tap on the text at the top to go back.

5. gothicheart (Posts: 83; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)

probably, it will be boring in a few years, unlike android and ios, which is already boring today...

18. MeoCao (unregistered)

I can see it boring right now, no need to wait at all.

27. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

Well if its so boring to you why comment, just move on. Others like it. Its down to preferance

But have to say bored of android users hating so much on anything wp8. You all go on about how apple wants everything under there control yet you say things like 'android will replace everything' or 'only need android Theres no room for others etc,

38. AliNSiddiqui (Posts: 382; Member since: 19 Sep 2012)

He commented because it's a poll!

45. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)

You can vote without commenting the same thing that most android users seem to be trolling on every wp article

Hey, are you from North Korea? In North Korea people can only speak like Dear Leader or keep quiet.

But here people have right to say what they think so get used to it.

51. papss (unregistered)

Agreed..if you dont like then see you way to another section.. stop trolling

56. MeoCao (unregistered)

This shows weakness of WP, when you are weak you don't want people to talk about that b-c you can't talk back.

I think WP is boring but I love talking about WP poor quality, that's not trolling by any means. LOL
