Personally, I have yet to download the newest preview, but that's only because I hated the original preview so much, I refuse to give it 20 gigs of my precious 1TB drive. If their was a "Windows" tablet I might like this, I mean if I didn't have an awesome tablet running Android's ICS, which brings me to Microsoft's biggest problem. What happens if your all in, and no one likes it?
MS might have done us all a disservice with Windows 8, but mostly themselves. My prediction is 8 will have a worst adoption rate than Vista and ME, to radical for most and just out of place for the rest of us. It's a solution that doesn't have a problem. The marriage of desktop and mobile needs to happen gradually, not to mention they are two uniquely different platforms. Again Microsoft, you leave me wondering, "why don't you get it", change for the sake of change is not always good and radical can bite you in the ass. I give this round to Apple who has been sneaking good element of IOS into the desktop, personally I can't wait for Mountain Lion a true marriage of the platforms that takes the best pieces of OSX and IOS and puts them together for the betterment of all.
The fact that MS has chosen to take the the UI from the doomed and KO'ed Zune, ignore our apparent distaste or discomfort and bet the entire farm including Xbox on this monstrosity, frankly has left this geek feeling a little puzzled. Listen to me Microsoft and listen good, there are somethings that don't work, IOS on desktop, no, Chrome OS, no, now add to that list Metro UI. Trust me MS this will be your finest disaster. To sum it all up in one word, "yuk."
