Windows 8!

The release is pretty well ugly.
It's just the Developer Edition, i'd rather wait till the actual release to review about it.

It's not just the developers version. The consumer edition has been released as well. Which is the pretty much as close as they will get it before release. It's rumour to come out October 2012 on different tablet devices. I only reviewed the developer edition because I was starting to right reviews about different software so I included this within the review.

It's fairly annoying but would be better on a touch screen. It's not bad, I quite like it although a lot of things are confusing and hidden, the control panel is all over the place and it's just completely different in many other ways, as it doesn't sport the same design interface as all previous versions of Windows OS.

Mhm, on the next release of a Nokia tablet? If not mistaken.

It will be released in February 2013.

I think that Microsoft got scared about tablets, and decided that the only thing people will buy is their Windows OS. Therefore they crammed a tablet interface into a desktop OS, in hopes of marketing the OS on tablets as well, considering their Windows Phone OS was a complete and utter fail.

Personally, I think Microsoft should focus on the following things if they want to survive (at least on the desktop):

• Security
• Settings (all in one place, not scattered all over)
• UI (multiple windows or spaces, rather than just one)

Except it's not just them doing it, it's also Apple and Canonical. They're all trying to deliver one interface across all platforms, so far Microsoft is winning in the respect that Apple has failed. They're giving consumers a interface that is shared across all platforms, sadly for Microsoft they're a bit too late in the game and people are already running off for the iPad, Android, and even Macs. They need to step it up, even Steam is running to the hills and becoming a native Linux service (which many of their indie games are already available under Linux, and they're porting Left 4 Dead 2 to Linux and the Source game engine). Gabe Newel is currently running Steam on a Ubuntu machine at the Valve offices.

They call it BETA for a reason, hopefully you installed this on a spare computer.

when was the last update?

The Metro UI Desktop was the one I fancy with Windows 8. Simplicity, sexy, neat. But it was also great they never forgot to put back the Desktop.

only for a table environment, same with Ubuntu Unity. Same with Gnome Shell. They're stupid under a Desktop Environment...
