Microsoft BOB.

And the interface looks like AOL from 1996.
It’s great for touchpads and phones, but for desktops or laptops it is a nightmare.
At least they should give us an alternative desktop view and a REAL start menu.

They do. It’s called Windows 7. :-)

(or XP, if you’re a hardcore reactionary.)

Maybe their strategy is to force everyone onto tablets and phones by making the PC form factor OS unusable.

Won’t work for me, but I don’t count anyway.

the interface is called Metro and you can turn off the touch screen and it works just like Win 7. The folks at Gizmodo think the integration of pad/tablet phone and PC will make lots of people happy. I like my windows phone and win7. Stop by gizmodo today and see the cool super thin “16.9 screen” and keyboard to attach to your phone or pad.

"START" menu? Who in the world needs such a thing? just turn it on (or wake it up, as I do) -- and start working...

"START" menu? Who comes up with such idiotic notions?
