Indeed,  . This is the new UI of Windows 8 as much as Windows Media Center is the new UI of Vista and 7.

Isn't it sad how people jump to ionospheric conclusions based on a video about the particular OPTIONAL UI that is designed for touch screens (tablets, laptops etc.)??? |
>> Implying I said it's forced, when the video clearly shows the old familiar Windows UI as well

And it's not designed for touch screens alone.

We'll have to wait for the PDC to see if it can or cannot be removed altogether.

What do you mean continue to upgrade XP? They did... They released Vista and then 7. 
XP is a 10 year old OS, time for it to die, and it will, officially, on April 8, 2014. Then we can have the bored members of MSFN do kernel hacks so you can run Vista exclusive software at 10% the speed.

U know what I meant dude, ball breaker. its only 9:19am here...early for ball breaking  j/k
EDIT
Tbh, I wish more things supported Linux. I remember using Mandrakes version like in 99 or 00 and it was much better (speed wise and versatility). And if I could code well enough, i could always fix/edit what i want.
Stupid MicroShit and Apple with their monopolies on OS's.... |

How are they monopolies? You are free to install any OS you wish, and developers are free to develop for any OS they want to and computer retailers are free to sell their computer with any OS they want to.
The more appropriate word is "popular".
So you are free to install Linux all you want, but you are also free, after installing Linux, to wander why the fuck you installed it because there is very little software that runs on it.

Thats my point. No one supports Linux. Ur forced to choose between Apple or Microsoft.
And I sure as hell wont buy a mac
U see ppl bitching all the time about this on tv (least on american and canadian tv), but yet devs who could affect change dont do a thing.
I know its all about money, but there isn't one rich mofo out there who is willing to shake things up a bit? If I had the money, i'd invest in some good coders and try atleast to create a viable alternative to apple or microsoft.
I know there's a ton more to it than that, but u feel me. |

It's all about moniez, and rich people want more of it, not throw it away. Development on Linux means open source for the most part, and usually free at that. Not worth it.

Exactly...and thats the sad part. Imagine if the guy who came up with penicillin didnt distro it for free, but sold it/patented it.
Too bad u and I wont see the day when humanity moves beyond greed  |

I didnt say that, i said they have a huge budget (at least the should have..) and it's embarrasing how bad it still is, after all those years. I'm not comparing it to anything.
