Metro UI?

PepiMK said:
The strict separation of function and user interface, which currently makes Spybot look like "what are all these files" should allow a metro interface without having to maintain two completely separated code bases. Which means: if we create a metro interface, that won't mean we would drop support for any older OS (bad enough we had to drop 9x/ME).

good news!
 
new modern interface?

im not very happy with the current non-metro interface of spybot2. A new modern interface like in aviras antivir would be cool.

modern interface

what u think about a new modern interface like used in avira 12 for spybot?
it should work with win 7 too.
 
it looks very plain and simple to use, as i don't personally use Avira i cant say how well it would actually be with more options.
 
i dont use AVIRA too,atleast not as my AV (i use KIS 2012) but i like the plain and simple style of AVIRA (same style is used in Vodafon Mobile Connect Software) and i think it would look good in Spybot too.
 
it might have a simplistic user interface but in spybots case it might not be the best as spybot has many setting/features and that would end up with the user scrolling down for a long period of time to find what they are looking for but the look would benefit spybot if it could be done correctly.
 
A Metro UI would definitely make me never use SBS&D ever again.

Metro UI on Windows 8 is the main reason I would never buy it, regardless of other 'improvements'.
 
lol yea i m testing win 8 now for a while and the metro design is trully not a big plus and the on going changing from metro to default dont make it better

as windows 8 metro is the new it would be good for them to start making changes to have support for it.
 
maybe spybot should atleast have a app for the metro-screen which shows status of the spybot services and so. i guess if u perform a scan or so, it will have to change to non-metro at all, but an app would ne nice

yes that is exactly what i was thinking it would be rather simple to do just show the status on what the non metro is doing and maybe have a few simple things it could do. this of course could be expanded on if users like.
 
Windows 8 final goes public Oct. 26, 2012

We have not decided on this yet, so the answer is maybe.

that would be nice for Windows 8 users for Spybot 2.0 to have Metro UI.

btw, Windows 8 will be finalized (aka. reach "RTM") in early August and general availability of Win8 final will occur October 26, 2012 as I read here.

perhaps when Windows 8 is released to the public this late October (let's remember that Windows 7 was released to the public in late October 2009), Spybot 2.0 will be finalized by then, hopefully :)
