What Do You Think Of Windows 8?s Metro UI? [MakeUseOf Poll]
Last week we were interested in your tweeting habits, and asked you how often you share on Twitter. We wanted to get an idea of how frequently people tweet, and found out the surprising fact that more than %40 of you don’t tweet at all.
Out of the 145 readers who voted, 19% don’t even have a Twitter account, 23% have an account but never tweet, 23% tweet 1-5 times per week, 19% tweet 1-5 times per day, 7% tweet 6-10 times per day, 5.5% tweet 11-20 times per day, and 3.5% tweet more than 2- times daily.
Full results and this week’s poll after the jump.
While not a whole lot of readers voted, it was still surprising to find out that so many of you are not big on tweeting, with a staggering 65% who tweet 5 times a week or less. In a world so consumed by Twitter and hashtags, it’s interesting to see such results.
This week’s poll question is: What Do You Think Of Windows 8′s Metro UI?
Microsoft Metro UI is not entirely new, with early glimpses of dating back to earlier versions of Windows Media Center and Zune, but with Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8, Microsoft made sure we all heard of and knew what Metro UI is. Metro is a design language which is based on certain principles such as specific fonts, use of tiles and text for navigation, and more, and by utilizing in in Windows 8, Microsoft is trying to go in a completely different direction. This UI has gotten mixed reviews (although more good than bad), with some people thinking it’s the best thing since Windows added a Start button, and others hating the thought of having that as their main operating system. Where do you stand?
What is it about Metro UI that you like or don’t like? Do you think it’s good on some products but not on others? If so, which? We’re waiting for your comments.

Ubuntu Friendly: A User-Submitted Database Of Computers That Work With Ubuntu
Do you want to know if your computer will work with Ubuntu? Head to Ubuntu Friendly to quickly find out. It’s an ever-growing database of computers known to work flawlessly with everyone’s favorite Linux-based operating system. Do you want to help make that website useful? Run the system test on your computer running Ubuntu right now. You will run tests on your wireless card, your sound and more.
Ubuntu Friendly is a new, beta website allowing users to find out whether Ubuntu will run properly on their computer. All of the information is provided by end-user tests; the software for the test is built into every Ubuntu system. It’s a simple way for everyone using Ubuntu to give back to the project, without the need to code.
Even better though, this is a very useful way for would-be Ubuntu users to find out whether their computer will work without having to actually install the system.
Checking The Database
If you want to know if your computer can run Ubuntu, head over to the site to find out.
Of course, not every computer is in this database yet. That’s where users running their own tests come in.
Running The Tests
Looking for the system tests? Just open up the Unity dashboard and type “Testing“. You’ll see the “System Testing” option come up quickly. Fire that program up and you’ll be ready to start.
The first thing you will see is a selection of tests. Scroll through them and uncheck anything that doesn’t apply to your system. For example, if you don’t have Bluetooth on your computer, feel free to turn off the Bluetooth test.
Once you continue, it will be onto the tests. Don’t worry, it’s not complicated. In all cases you will be asked to do something, then click “Yes” or “No“. It will be the easiest multiple choice test you’ve ever taken!
For example: the test on your graphics card asks you whether or not you can see some colored bars and static:
If you see them, click “Yes” and continue. If not, click “No“. If you think a particular question doesn’t apply to your system, click “skip this test” to continue without corrupting the test’s results.
Another example is testing whether the volume buttons on your computer work:
Working through all of these tests took me about 20 minutes, but your experience may vary. Once you’re done you can send your information out to the world, though you will need a Launchpad account to do so:
Sign up for Launchpad before running your tests and you won’t need to bother at the end.
Conclusion
This is a great way for non-programers to contribute to Ubuntu. It’s not a huge effort, but anything you can to to help spread Ubuntu is helpful. There may well be someone with your exact computer who ends up using Ubuntu because of your tests. Or if something isn’t working, the Ubuntu team might well find a fix. So running these tests is something every Ubuntu user should consider doing.
I ran a test on my EEE 900a and saw the results go live almost immediately. It’s a rewarding feeling, one every Ubuntu user should feel. Run the tests and submit the results; then come back here to let us know how your system did in the comments below.
Oh, and be sure to check out 11.10, the latest version of Ubuntu, if you haven’t yet. It’s a great one.
