Windows 8 Release Preview: A hard climb with limited payoff

You're in a hot desert. There is water but it is on top of a totem pole. You know how to climb the pole to get to it, but you can't hold on to the hot pole and drink the water simultaneously. You collect some water in your sock, climb down, squeeze your sock then drink from it. If you need more water, you repeat the entire process. After a while, you know how to do it, it is intuitive and discoverable, but it just ain't worth the effort. Finally, in frustration, you kick the pole, spilling all the water onto the hot sand. That's the Windows 8 experience after continued use.
