Wow that looks great
I'm not a big Microsoft person, but this OS looks very pretty.
And I applaud them for not try to copy OSX and going totally original.
Really cool can't wait to try it out

I wish MS would go back to the functionality, stability and compatibility of XP. With Win 7, they tried making it accessible to the average idiot, but in doing so...too much happens behind the scenes without letting the user control anything. This new trend of games installing new User profiles for updating and running hidden services has got to stop - it's unnecessary and unwanted.
And stop holding DirectX hostage to force upgrades! I hate how MS obsoletes their own OS after a year and forces developers to migrate to the new platform.

You either have a duel boot system, or you don't. Running multiple OS' on multiple shells in how you do it ladies and gentlemen. Never put all your eggs in one basket.
@Necron: No, you don't need to "dual" boot anymore. I haven't had to look back at XP since 7. While some older programs, mainly used in the business world, don't support Vista/7, pretty much everyone else can get by with the fast and 64-bit Windows 7. And if you need it that bad for your home computer there are plenty of VM options.
I applaud Microsoft going in a new direction. A full OS that will run on a home PC, laptop, netbook, and tablet sounds good to me. In case you don't know the standard interface is still there beneath it and I'm sure you could customize it to your hearts desire. I need to see more of it in action but I'm intrigued.
Ehhhhh I do not know. I am well aware I can switch back to a regular desktop interface, but then it just seems pointless to even upgrade to Windows 8 in the first place. Unless I get a huge boost in performance and freeing of system resources, then I cannot see myself switching. I do not have a xbox 360, tablet, or windows phone so only time will tell if this benefits those of us who do not fall in these categories.
I feel many may be on the same page, this is not the 90s anymore, complete OS upgrades are not as necessary as they were in the days of yore. Now we can simply just download patches and upgrades. Consequently, it is challenging to convince users that it is worth it to purchase a brand new OS.
Also, is it just me or are there others who simply do NOT want every single one of their devices connected? Maybe I am just plum loco, but seriously I do not mind some combos, but trying to create an all-in-one device just means if that devices fails the more f'ed I am.
Tablets are both the greatest and worst thing to happen to the PC market. The move from power and performance to seamless functionality and pure utility is a mixed move.
@ MythArcana
Agreed, concerning the thuggish DirectX moves Microsoft made.
And that concludes my disjointed rant of the day.
