It's their new "Metro" look. It's supposed to be totally different so it can be used on tablets, phones, etc.

Yes, I'm aware of that. It looks nasty on a phone, too.

Android vs Windows 8???

Easy comparison.

Android looks professional.

Windows 8 looks childish.

I’m not big into this stuff, I only want it all to work...but you’re right. Looks like shi’ite, even to me.

It's back to the sixties, can't decide if it's more Partridge Family or more Brady Bunch.

MS decided to do its own thing to differenciate itself and to probably avoid patent infringement issues... I admit I don’t get the 8 interface. I get they want the tablet/PC/Phone to be united, and that’s a nice goal.. 1 device that is your tablet and your PC is a good goal, but how far it will get adopted/successful in V 1.0 don’t know.
