Windows 8?
Good gosh, a new OS coming out.
http://allthingsd.com/20110601/exclu...out-windows-8/
I am still running XP Pro at home, and we are going to be switching to Windows 7 at Boeing before to long.
Looks like 8 will support touch screen on home monitors?

^^ carpal tunnel syndrome... there's an app for that!....
Did you read how W8 is going to look like a store front with links to microsquishy's online boutique so you can "buy" all your software just like apple sells their "apps'...
wonder how close they are going to monitor the non ms software you install on your sys. that you did not "buy" from them?...
maybe time to go look at Linux again.....

it's hard to believe that 7 has already been or will be out 3 years when 8 comes out. xp is still a nice operating system but vista SUCKED but once you got the hang of it, it wasn't too bad and windows 7 is very nice. I probably prefer it over xp now just because i use it on all the computer i use other than this one and it is so old i couldn't put 7 on it.
I wouldn't rush out to get 8 though, so they can still get the bugs out of it. I still haven't rushed out to get office 2010 yet because I'm still letting the work out the kinks in office 2003, hehe. Just kidding, but I just never have like 07 or 10 office but will probably try and put it on my computer when I redo windows in a few days

I don't see a task bar that's not very Windows-like...
honestly, looks like a big iPad... I'm a Windows fan myself, but I think they may be going to far ahead with this one, lol

"Windows is growing more flexible in other ways. Microsoft said back in January that the next version of Windows would support ARM-based chips from Nvidia, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm, in addition to the traditional Windows processors from Intel and AMD. Though Sinofsky and Green used Intel-based machines for Wednesday’s demo at D, Microsoft plans to demonstrate some of the ARM-based designs later today at the Computex trade show in Taiwan."
Personally very excited about this part....Super low power chips running PCs. And we have quad core ARM chips coming out this fall.
Check out this demo video:
