I got the same impression so far. Take the Metro Windows Update for example. It failed for for me repeatedly without giving any reason until I found the same functionality within the "classic" Control Center where I had to allow the system to reboot in order to install the updates. This is simply a horrible experience in every way.

Wasn't this on the Beta product? Why is everyone talking as if it's on the RTM version?


Because when was the last time a Microsoft RTM version fixed any beta bugs?


I would not go that far.


The point is that people are concerned about shortcomings in the beta because they do not have confidence in Microsoft to fix those problems. Whether that lack of confidence is justified or not is another matter.


No, the point is the Release Preview has been out for a month (months?) and has fixed a lot of the issues that are being mentioned here.


This is just one example of a general flawed concept and certainly beyond the scope of a "bug" that could be fixed within a week or two.

I don't think we'll see a unified experience until Windows 9.
