Thoughts on Windows 8

Hey ther’s a new face in OS town, after Microsoft announced Windows 8.

Well first time when I watched the video, I remained a bit worried… . Why? “It looks great”  might said some of you, beacuse it’s UI it’s more likely for tablets – with a touch screen, motion sensors and other freaky devices I don’t have on my laptop!

Windows wa thaught to work on PCs and laptops so why this all new change in the UI? Maybe it won’t be “Windows” no more???

I heared som rumors last week, as Microsoft might re-brand the Windows OS and change it’s name to something else, and as the video shows there’s no more “windows” in the UI… .

I think Windows 7 is very good, I am a linux geek, but I’m not agaist Windows, every OS has it’s place in the market and Windows was around for some time – so why blame it for being bad. Course it  has it’s flaws but so far in my experience with Windows 7 I think is the best Windows yet.

So my question is obvious, why Windows 8? I don’t really need it, I’d prefer Windows 7.1.  Do you remember the “Longhorn” codenamed version – that never came out, and the result of waiting was Windows Vista – better-looking then Windows XP but resource consuming and still unsecure.

Will Windows 8 change the way we look over Windows OS? What do you think. Point that out in your comment.
