The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

I agree absolutely - the new UI has been forced down peoples necks. I like the Metro UI on a phone. I'm pretty sure it would be OK on a tablet, but on a desktop (let alone a server) its bat-sh*t insane.

I use my PC a lot for musical endeavours, and me and my son use it for gaming - the improved memory usage and disk performance pay for itself in these areas. For many people, I can see the upgrade doesn't make so much sense. My personal take is that it's a better O/S in spite of the GUI "improvements", not because of them.
