Still a long way to go before we see this, set for a early 2013 retail release. So the list of rumours and speculation will keep flooding in for a long time to come windows8beta.com/...

For the first time in ages the task manager has been changed www.tweaktown.com/...

If you find any info or updates please share them in this thread.

As long as they base Windows 8 on Windows 7 then we should have a good OS, the current version is still selling very well www.techspot.com/...

Wow, Already working on Windows 8?
Didn't Windows 7 come out not long ago? (Even though it's only 2011 and set for a 2013 release) I didn't think they'd release anything on a newer version for a while...

I wonder if this will not be "Vista with a hat" :P

I still cannot get over the amount of people singing the praises of Windows 7 while vilifying Vista even though they're so ****ing close to identical its not even funny. Windows 7 is like Vista SP1 ffs...

I'm not really fussed what they do tbh... W7/Vista do the job and look pretty. As long as they play games I do not really care :) There's not a lot more out of the OS that I want; except for perhaps some visual customisation that is not as constricted.

Looks like they have just tacked wp7 onto windows 7. It looks ok for a tablet pc, but i wouldn't want that on a desktop. I think i'll stick with windows 7

I don't think I would use that unless I was gimped in some way such as having touch screen but no mouse/keyboard or a media remote or something.

You guys.... that was the interface for the tablet version. They'd be stupid to make it the interface for a normal PC, or if they did they'd give you an option on install and it would be a very simple setting to change interface.

They know people hate change haha.

This would work great on tablets, not quite surenon desktops though. But I have to admit, it does look very nice!

I heard it's for both tablet computers and their desktops, is that right? If so, it's perfect for tablets but terrible for desktops. :|
