[QUOTE="zicoz, post: 941919, member: 24585"] First, I thought you were talking about the design language, which is a lot more then just a bunch of incons in a grid. IOS is actually looking really dated due to it's design language, and if I'm not mistaken the guy who is responsible for it is said to make some changes now that Jobs isn't there to hold him back. I mean just look at the Ibook app, why do they need to have the simulated pages on the right part of the screen? If you weren't I apologize, but if not: Metro dates back to MCE which was released in 2005 I think, and over time it's been going through changes with Zune, then Windows Phone and now Windows. And even though the first Android phone dates back to late 2008, the UI has gone through a lot of changes since then, it's not that long ago since they made a big fluff about them updating the UI with what they called "magazine style", which basically looked like a small diversion from the Metro style Microsoft had been working on for many years. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyways, as far as what Mediaportal is concerned, I think it can work very well in pair Windows 8 as long as the developers for Windows 8 apps does their job well. There are some things we probably won't get support for withing Mediaportal, and that is mainly thinks like HBO and sports like NBA, NFL and so on. But if the developers does a good job on their apps for these and makes them work with arrow keys we can launch them from within Mediaportal, and have a solution that offers a complete package. @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/spudr.54104/']SpudR[/URL]: The enterprise was never going to go for Windows 8 anyways, not because they think it's bad, but because they've all already moved to Windows 7, or are in process of doing so.
