what interests me with gabe’s comments at the time is that he didn’t have the same complaints as the “normal users”. he didn’t comment on the UI basically at all, which makes sense because steam’s ten-foot interface released about the same time as metro. the ui was never the main problem with W8, it was the vendor lock-in that came from the microsoft store.
