“Windows 8 does certainly require a brief adjustment period before users become familiar and comfortable with the new ‘bimodal’ operating system,” the Telegraph quoted Allen, as saying.
Allen said he had been using Windows 8 on both a desktop computer and on a tablet, but described the dual operating system as confusing and said it was difficult to know which mode to choose when opening an application or a file.
“A few minor issues aside, I''m impressed with its clever integration of a bimodal interface to simultaneously support both desktop and tablet use in the same operating system,” he added.
