Its like Microsoft did with Office 2007 – changed the UI and it took till
Office 2010 a chance to get it better and its still poor as far as I am
concerned – I now use Office 2003 as the choice! And the reason is the UI
itself.

On a desktop without touch – its something that I hate – having now to go
through multiple actions to get something I can get at immediately on my
desktop!

Whilst I have a touchscreen mobile – I hate the touch screen – it simply
takes longer to do things unless the basic OS and the user want it! And
when using a laptop or desktop – its not what I want

I can see Windows 8 being a game changer in that people and businesses will
either go to Windows 7 or desert Microsoft!

I personally like it. Just one thing bothers me though.

Apps seem to be the “IN” thing at he moment. But as with all things that are in “in fashion” they cost more money. What is the proposed pricing costs of these apps? Will this mean that you will have to buy your OS (whether pre-installed on a new PC etc. or as a retail version.

You (might) also have to purchase new software to go onto it (which has been the norm upto now and is part and parcel of a new PC or OS. BUT these Apps? Are they going to be an extra cost? Is MS hoping to make more money buy selling these Apps? Will you have to buy from either MS or one of their “licenced” retailers? (just like Apple for example)
