If that is the desktop, then Microsoft will lose 90% of their market on release of this crap.

Its the upcoming OS for pcs. IT caters to the phone cigarettes by making look and operate like a phone. Also they removed the start button for the classic desktop "app". How dare they call it an app!

Anyway R.I.P this button:

The only change is that you get extra screens for more managment?

[Bisjac]

so those buttons can be interchanged with any folders and apps i want? likewise i can remove all of that junk i didnt want?

i do love taskbars though

apparently you CAN use an old windows style desktop and toolbar without any settings altering.
but the start menu is missing. so i guess a person would have to place a bunch of shortcuts on the desktop to control panel, C:, networks, and other such things.

im thinking the average user wont be able to customize things like win7 style like i will be able to.
but then again, the average user is handicapped and prob will like the metro stuff anyways

control panel can be accessed by right clicking start corner and clicking on control panel in Win8, I kinda like that.

Windoes operates on a stuff-good-stuff-good development pattern.

Windows 8 is on the stuff part of it.
