If Apple is that paranoid friend that has four deadbolts on his door and a loaded weapon in every room, then Microsoft is the over-sharer who tweets where, when and what he had for lunch — including both before and after photos (and we aren’t talking about pictures of a clean plate). Redmond wants you to grasp about everything it does — no accomplishment is too minor for a lengthy explanation of the what and why. Take as an example, portrait mode. Windows 8 may have one. We all know what you’re thinking, “well i might frackin’ hope so,” however the devs want you to grasp this is not just a few feature they slapped within the OS knowing people would expect it. The team studied users both acquainted with and new to the tablet form factor. They checked out grip, posture and when people chose to rotate their slates. And, in case you are some weirdo who likes reading things on their side, there is a rotation lock option. For more details hit up the source link and the video after the break.
