Microsoft has revealed details about Windows 8. As we know already, Windows 8 will be ARM-based as opposed to the traditional x64 architecture. Now we have more details about specifically how Windows 8 will look, feel, and behave: - For those familiar with Windows Phone 7, Windows 8 will feel familiar. Windows 8 highly incorporates the "tiles" design of Windows Phone 7. - Windows 8 will support two types of apps/programs. The first type of programs supported on Windows 8 are the traditional PC programs, such as the ones that run on Windows 7. In other words, non-touch based programs. The second type of programs supported on Windows 8 are mobile-like programs (i.e. touch based and open full screen) written in HTML5 and Javascript. Internet Explorer 10, which will be available in Windows 8, has already been designed to be a mobile-like program. - There will be support for hardware keyboards and mice (usable in both types of programs mentioned above), but there will be plenty of virtual keyboards available to use - including different keyboards depending on the orientation of your device - and support for touch gestures for navigation. - There will be an app store for Windows 8. - Windows 8 will run on laptops, desktops, and tablets. - Windows 8 will "use less resources" than Windows 7. There is still a bit of confusion about if Windows 8 will only work on ARM CPUs or if it will also work on traditional CPUs. No one really knows.

Doesn't look like its for me to be honest, way to 'appy', looks like something more suited to a phone ui or maybe games console, for now it looks like i will stick to W7

That is why Star Trek is complete fantasy. No starship would ever be able to survive a Windows OS.
