sorry but I dont think you understood what I was saying. I am not talking about the back button. I am aware of where that takes you but in windows 7 the actual path shown in the bar is interactive. Better system. You click on any root folder and you are taken there quickly.

I’m down with a switchable touch and mouse/keyboard UI.

But – just because it might be ideal to do file management in the comfort of a more precise keyboard/mouse world does not mean I always have that option at hand.

This needs to have capability in the touch UI to do general file management easily and robustly.

I hope I can turn this off or I will just say “Thanks, but no thanks, I will stick with 7″. I hate having to even look at the menu tool bar. To me this looks like a large mess when everything is already located as either hotkeys, in the menu bar, or inside a context menu that is generally quick and easy to access.

not every time, because you can take different routes to get to the same folder which means going ‘back’ and going ‘up’ are 2 completely different locations.

It’s not all disjointed. They have two completely separate UIs in Windows 8. This is the desktop UI. Not the Metro UI.

Truly horrible. Microsoft doesn’t realize people are laughing at this all over the internet. Less is more Microsoft. Try to understand that. But what can you expect, look at the Start Menu for a perfect example of UI horribleness.

Wasteful and terrible.

Will they allow us to sort files in Custom order this time? Like we could with Vista and XP?

It’s only confusing because it’s different from what we’re used to. Power-users of MS Office hated it when 2007 came out and brought us the ribbon – but once we got used to it, it’s actually really simple. Also, it was something I would be comfortable introducing my grandma to – because it’s more clear. It looks to me like they’re just bringing the ribbon to to the rest of the windows experience. I think it’s a great idea. I’ll take the features I use the most and just add them to the quick-access menu. My wife will do the same to her computer and we’ll both be happy.

Good Idea Microsoft!

Has nothing to do with touch based interface so far. Completely disjoints experience…I can see quite a few bad grades in this area in particular.

They brought back the up button? Why? You can achieve the same thing by clicking on the previous entry in the path.

This is the most confusing UI I’ve ever seen. Really, Microsoft?
