The Windows 8 Experience: “Wait...what? Why did you do that? Why would someone even think to do that? What the hell is going on?”

I use WinXP, Linux (Debian-like flavor), OSX Lion, and anything else they can throw my way at work. I use Win7 and just grabbed Win8 (first dev verision) at home.

I like Win8 already - even if it has a ton of features not implemented in my image.

Note: You can switch back to the "old" desktop in Win8 if you can't handle Metro. Personally, I like it but it's not too useful without a touchscreen. I'm going to test it out on a touchscreen laptop/tablet.

If Microsoft is successful in this, expect Apple's OS X+1 to do the same ... basically move toward their tablet and phone IOS.

Just like going from XP to 7. No more!
