Basically Window Phone interface + Win7 desktop UI.

Not sure I like the desktop UI mode on tablets but hey, more stuff is welcome.

don't forget Windows 8 is going to run natively on Tegra tablets etc too. Makes sense to have a 'Write once, run everywhere' -type UI

Exactly the same philosophy as with OSX Lion and having an alternate UI within the OS for browsing 'apps' and running them full screen like a tablet, the way he demoed having the metro UI next to the classic win 7 UI was cool if a little ugly, like they've just thrown the metro UI on top of the old UI instead of truly integrating them. Next a linux distribution that can run android apps will be announced, oh wait, it already can! (but there's no alternate UI like this yet, just you wait it will happen!)

Maybe Windows will finally be nice to use on the go. So far, Windows is terrible without a mouse and kb compared to other OS's.

the BEST part about Microsoft Bob

which nobody ever seems to remember in their Bob-bashing

is that Comic Sans MS was developed for use in Microsoft Bob

it just makes sense

Looks stupid. Apple is smarter.

Why would anyone want to use touch with their computer screen? Cuz it's dumb. Mouse gestures are the way to go. On mac, all I have to do is use two fingers on my touchpad, wave them and switch windows. Why would want to touch my screen in order to the same thing? Same is true for the touchpad mouse. All you have to do is use two fingers on the touchpad mouse and swipe, changes windows.

Entirely customizable. Windows is like 10 years behind.

I appreciate that Microsoft is trying to go into the post-pc era with a touch based OS that doesn't try its hardest to hide the file system from you (and other "behind the curtain" aspects). I mean, you don't need to see it most of the time but its there if you need it. With that said its clear cloud based computing and personal media servers will move physical files from such touch based devices but I usually prefer to have physical files on the device.

Don't be mean. Sceneman probably has that video favorited, and has rubbed one out to her while it loops.

Until they lock you in a room, plead to have sex with you, and yell that you raped her as her as you run her apartment with your pants unbuckled.
