Windows 8 - Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on Windows 8? They've tailored it to suit tablets and normal desktop PCs. It has two main interfaces which are shown on the video: the classic Windows desktop interface with a start bar and such, and a Windows Phone 7-styled interface, which I presume is mainly targeted at tablets. As far as the classic Windows desktop interface goes - it looks too similar to Windows 7, but hey, it hasn't been released yet so hopefully there will be some major skinning before release.

  5. Hmm, to be honest the only reason i run windows is that games are made for windows. If it wasnt for that. I would be on Ubuntu Linux. So i feel that I am going to give windows 8 a miss.

  11. With 85% of my time spent using a browser, I'm slowly stoping to concern about OS's.
    But it's nice, anyway.

  14. Meh, I just hope they don't forget that tablets cover just a very small part of the OS market for now.
