Windows 8 is simply a direction for M$ to impact the mobile & touch screen markets. I have loaded their beta and found it very clumsy for a desktop OS, but can see the value on a tablet or someone who uses a large touch screen interface to move around documents, pictures, and the like. If any of you own a Xbox 360 you can see that they use a good bit of the screen interface with that console. I do not think there is enough there in Win 8 to move the majority of Win 7 users over. But, I do think M$ is chasing Apple and their approach to developer apps and the Apple Store aka "Windows Store". I can see Jobs smiling now as Apple now takes on the role of the "BORG" from Star Trek and simulate M$ to apply and share one collective conscious and to eventually takeover M$.
