Af course, that Win8 thingy might come with a "legacy" windows aspect for regular users....all in all, I'd say Win7 is the best thing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be changes before the Betas and final version are released. I'm playing with it on a virtual machine on my work laptop right now. The interface works fine with a mouse and keyboard, but having the desktop that we all know become just another app is jarring. The Start button as we know it is there in name only. It's interesting, to say the least. I'm not keen on the "Metro" interface apps running in full-screen only, though there is a side-by-side window mode. There is no over-lapping windows in the Metro interface, though it's there in the "Win-7" app. For the Win7-ish part, they've finally let the task bar span over to multiple monitors. I'll keep playing with it and look for updates. As I see/hear interesting things about it, I'll report in. I may put it on a spare PC and try running COD on it.

Less Applefication and more iPadification... It does work well without a touch screen, though a touchscreen user will enjoy it (I recently acquired my first touchscreen devices, a HP TouchPad and an iPhone). On the plus side boot is pretty quick and you can still get to a familiar interface. I'm hoping that the final version will have an option to let you boot into the familiar desktop screen. Hitting the Windows key brings up the Metro interface, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
