When this gets out I'll try it in a VM on my lappy.
Personally I'm not looking forward to this. MS are trying to get rid of the desktop and replace it with a tablet interface. I'm sorry, but for laptops and desktops the standard desktop environment is the best. The tablet interface is a great idea but it shouldn't be the default for the OS. I applaud the idea of one operating system running on portables and desktops though. They had a tablet in their keynote today which was runnign Windows 8 under ARM which are knwon for low power processing. Once this hits we could have Windows rivals to the iPad which are a lot more versatile in their usage.
