ExoPC Slate in Depth Review: Pt 2, The ExoUI
Yesterday I published part 1 of my in-depth review of the ExoPC where I looked at the hardware, and we’re off to a cracking start as it’s extremely impressive. The most noticeable thing about this tablet however is the custom interface that ExoPC have provided to make working with this Windows 7 tablet simpler and more enjoyable.
Before I look at the UI let’s have a look at exactly why it’s needed. With Windows 7, Microsoft have continued with their philosophy of merging the consumer and business versions of their core OS that, only a few years ago, were seperate entities with different development teams. The upshot of this is that we now have a Windows that’s much more stable and secure than anything else before it, but where the business-focus has taken precedent over any consumer considerations.
There have been attempts with features such as Media Centre to simplify and cons! umerise the Windows UI, but even Media Centre has always felt like a type of lost bolt-on.
