Today’s demonstration followed our announcements earlier this year about Windows 8 running on System on a Chip (SoC) processors, and our browser engine innovations and significantly increased standards support in Internet Explorer 10. Windows 8 extends these innovations and reimagines every level of the Windows architecture — the kernel, networking, storage, devices, user interface — all building on the broadest and richest ecosystem of software, peripherals and devices. We have so much more on the way! We’re working very hard to get the product ready for early testing, and we plan to kick off our engineering dialogue through our team blog, just as we did for Windows 7. So please stay tuned — we have a lot of cool innovation coming in the months ahead. http://youtu.be/p92QfWOw88I http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2011/jun11/06-01corporatenews.aspx
I like the Metro UI.. Windows will make big strides in 2012.. What seperates Windows for the competition is the experience in dealing with there software from a consumer stand point.
I don't think that Windows will ever surpass Mac OS X ever but I like the new layout and the whole tile concept for each app but I think they should have kept it how Windows 7 was and with tool bars and stuff of that nature. Either way, they're still going to make billions off of it. Lol
Windows 8 show some promise on the UI front... if anyone looked at windows phone 7 will see that metro started on the phone and Microsoft is taking the same look from windows phone 7 to the PC.... it will be a big change for everyone but if you have a windows phone 7 already... it should be an easy adjustment.
Windows 8 is like an android. I don't think this is really a good idea for windows =\...talk about orinality
