why did they have to ruin the OS to only interest tablet users. I think ill be sticking with 7 for a long while...

NO. AW HELL NO. PLEASE NOOOOO!!!!1!!1!1!!11!!!! "How does this work on all other systems" IT SUCKS MAN

It's a boosted Windows 7 that looks a ton like it with a few extra features, just like OS X Lion. What they're showcasing is the adaptive format that is an option on the OS for use on net books, laptops, and tablet PCs. Don't be too impulsive guys. My hopes for the general UI is that they build in some kind of application like Rainmeter, the super customizable desktop enhancer.

it looks just like win7 with a start button and everything underneath that new touch friendly desktop thing.... ehh... i wouldnt freak out just yet.. im glad they're changing things up tho, the old desktop with a bunch of disorganized icons and windows needs a change

I agree with you.

i was thinking the same thing when i seen it. Why would they give desktops a handhel OS. just stupid. i do however reserve the right to change my opinion should they actually take notice and make it better lol.

Looks media center's UI is up to bat for MS now (like they've candidly been playing with) .. thats what it looks like to me with a pinch of 'android' topping it off.

Guess I can only hope that this is only a tablet version. If we're lucky, They'll release a version for regular PC's as well.

this is gonna be like a shell thing running on top of the normal start/taskbar interface.. can be turned off completely if u want.. i saw a vid where they did just that.

here's a vid showing what I'm talking about (SKIP TO 1:59):

notice when they open MS word, the underlying standard windows shell appears.. in other words, you'll be able to exit out of this new GUI and go back to plain old boring windows if you want... but I doubt anyone would, the new GUI looks great! Finally some desktop innovation from MS!

Could be worse. You could own a Mac. (shudders)

That is not a good idea what if the ( cloud ) sytem crashes what hapens then. Im gona stick with vista and 7 as long as i can before i even dare get 8.
