Hmm, that reminds me. Isn't W8 rumoured to be an OS that could be used on tablet computers?

Yeah there's rumours of them having a metro UI (Windows Phone 7 is a good example of that) for tablets and so on. Who knows! :P

I do wonder if people actually bother reading posts before they actually post. Of course it bloody looks like Windows 7 at this moment in time, it is still early days and all the lovely and fancy interface changes are added at a later stage.

Although I do have a feeling they will keep the look of how Windows 7 in terms of the task bar and so on but add on to it. But Windows 8 will have differences compared to Windows 7.

is that any different to windows 7?

Aha I joke :)

I'm more curious on the whole compatabilty, just because they base it on windows 7 doesn't mean they wont remove a major part of compatability.

When windows 7 came out, there were tonnes of adverts [and windows 7 was my idea] But there hasn't been so many for windows 8, meaning that it may not have as many user friendly features and will be being less of a home OS :\.

You do realise Windows 8 is not going to be released until like 2013... There will be no adverts of the operating system until the launch of it. Hence why you have not seen any adverts for Windows 8.

This thread makes me want to cry :'(
