Last night my MBA cohort started a new class. For some reason the professor brought up Windows 8 and he said that he liked it. He asked the class if anyone was using it, and one (of 27) people are using it. He asked her if she likes it, and she said that she does, but she had to get used to it.
That made me think of an initial complaint I had about my Nexus 5. It appeared to only have two home screens. On the Nexus 4 there were five home screens. But after complaining I realized that most of the shortcuts were just things I used occasionally and the additional home screens were really just additional clutter. So I adapted to using the apps menu for most of the apps, and only put shortcuts on the homes screen for things I used frequently. Now at least everything I use occasionally is in alphabetical order. My calendar widget, as well as shortcuts for Facebook, Gmail, Gas Buddy, and other apps I use regularly are still on the main home screen.
Well after installing some new apps, I learned the Nexus 5 will add more home screens as needed. So it turns out I could have recreated what I had on the Nexus 4, but now I am accustomed to the less-cluttered way and I actually prefer it.
So maybe someday I will even buy a computer with Windows 8.

Oh, I had to stop myself from laughing. I'm not going to be buying a computer with Windows 8 anytime soon.
