    Hey everyone. I couldn't find a similar thread with the search-function so I decided to create a new one.

    Microsoft has released Windows 8 developer preview, and it looks quite interesting. They have made it easier to acces to your programs, photos, etc. and they have integrated Twitter and Facebook directly into the system. These new "Metro Style Apps" are Microsoft's answer to what young people want (but old users can easily switch to the original dekstop-look).

    It is far from complete, but it gives a nice impression.

    Dicuss!

    Nice impression of crap. Win 8 is not mouse or keyboard friendly and tablets seem to be Android or Mac. Who needs it?

    It's plenty mouse/keyboard friendly. That's what I'm using right now.
