@JamieForsyth Agree and I think this moves away from productivity toward spoon feeding "content" to the user. It would be frustrating to try and Google say "hermenutics," "hermetics" or "hueristics" if you were trying to learn, say, philosophic terms. But you could pull up some pictures of lolcats really fast.
I hate to burst your bubble Slash Gear but you cant say windows 8 boots in 10 or less because its dependent on the pc.
My pc boots in about 15sec and my laptop in about 6 seconds on win 7.
Thats purly based on the post that is required causing delays. and god forbid you have multiple OSs installed with a boot menu then your screwed. so id not thumb down any facts.
@chrisgangsta yes it is going to come out on laptops, desktops and tablets. You will be able to use it without touch as well... but my opinion is that the best experience will be to have a tablet that allows you to use it on the go as well as getting home and place it in a hub, transforming it into a kind of desktop...

I have used IPAD and android tablets, but always wondered how it will be like having my hands on windows tablet. From the look of It, I am going to like windows tablet compared to android and ipad. There is one job (in my line of duty) which best windows does perfectly well.
I have tried an old windows phone v.6.50 and I don't like it. That was three years ago. Not sure how it's like using WP7. Actually I need a phone with full desktop functionality. Fujitsu has a WINDOWS 7 but it's only for Japan market. There is a Taiwan company ITG XP PHONE 2 having a full windows 7 OS and I hope they produce the set for international market. I think this phone will be good.
With the previous Windows UI I always felt trapped in the Windows. Whatever program I was using, Windows interface was everywhere demanding my attention. Too many ways and locations to go to same programs as well. You had the explorer, desktop, start-menu, search, quicklist and then Windows 7 made the taskbar an app-launcher as well.
Windows 8 looks clean but functional. Maybe a little but simple and unattactive at first but definatly something I could get used to.
hey man i rly liked windows 8 too tho theres 1 think that rly anoyed me, theres acually no way Close pages/game/apps nd such. the only way to get em closed is thru the task manager, u will need to close programs else it will start eatin ur CPU its rly anoying.
i dont understand why do they dont want us to see the password, its not phone number or something just a password and u can change it when ever u want.. or if u really like the password use a fake one for review, to me this covering the password thing is always looks so silly..
Funny, it seems like he has problems with the pinch and expanding your fingers to make screen bigger or smaller...which by the way he avoids by skipping to something else quickly.
It'll be really interesting to see how well this OS does when it comes out. It might just be me, but I just can't get excited about Windows 8. The Apple and Android UI's are so much more appealing and useful. I concede that Windows 8 is still a ways off from release; we'll see what changes between now and then.
most latest pc boots up fast...it all depends on what and how much software and apps you install, so the 9 second boot is irrelevent, but good for an unused new tablet
@TRDOA22 Steve Jobs doesn't make anything, he just picks and chooses designs and ideas made from the people working for him. I don't mean to discredit him for anything, but he even said Microsoft had "no taste". That's what Steve Jobs was there for, "Apple's taste". He probably would have no idea how to put together a barebones PC in the firsts place.
Wow if i were microsoft I wouldn't send any more demo devices to slashgear, this guy looks like he doesn't know what he's doing. Speech therapy is also recommended.
I would like to see more demension to the tiles, maybe some shadows or a little more lifelike animation with the feeds that update the tiles. Any news on when it will be on sale and how much it will be?
There's still a few bugs that needs to be worked out but once MS does I will be all over this, they got that deal with nokia for windows phone 7 and I'm sure nokia is already working on the tablet, we know samsung is cuz thats the one he is using in this video
For those who are wondering why I would sell my iPad 2, windows just works lol, there would be no compromise, flash, html5, sliver light it all just works, online games a free no downloading or paying it all just works,no wait months for simple video chat, it all works no compromise
This is a full pc with great touch UI, I been waiting for windows to really step it up but you know the main computer companies are going to sell this at high ass price, I hope windows has told their partners to try and sell the windows 8 tablet at a price that matches apple and android tablets better yet offer it at a lower price, I would sell my iPad 2 to get my hands on an 8 hour lasting windows 8 tablet
@eggrollio51 One: PC stands for Personal Computer and Mac's are PC's as well. Apart from that being said... i'm currently on Windows 8 and the Metro UI isn't that Amazing and Overwhelming when I first heard about it... the Windows 8 has been built OVER Windows 7 so there still those fantastic features you see in WIndows 7 :)
I really like how Microsoft is bringing the functionality and easiness of tablets to each and every computer. At first I wasn't sure about the UI but all windows functionality is still there. The desktop and star menu are outdated concepts considering we just want to get to our app(lications). Im behind a W7 PC right now and its like everything is on the screen twice or even three times. I just want to get to the apps, 70% of what I'm seeing is useless for my needs. So Im interested in this.
@strobe9 You can use your computer normally and u will be able to install all windows 7 applications/programs on windows 8. There is no different. There will be a windows apps market for windows upp accessing it easily from your pc/slate.
First off, it looks like this guy shaves his hands. SECOND there is a REASON why there is a difference between APPLE and WINDOWS people like difference. STOP making everything look the same way, we don't need a Ginormous iPhone !?!?!?!? I LIKE WINDOWS HOW IT IS !!!
@TheKai12 so what ? who told them to make it in 21 weeks ? i think apple ppl work on the touch in 30 weeks that's why is the best ! all im saying the touch screen has to be Responsive to ur finger and apple dose it right , but MAC is super Sucks windows is the king , i only complain about Touch which is Very important on Tablets .
Damn the Mac fanbois are pissed with this aren't they. Still bitter their tablet only does 40% of what a tablet is capable of.
Maybe Android should be worried after watching this demo. Time will tell.
BTW for fun when on the move tell your mates with ipads and iphones about a really great website and then laugh in their face when it has flash content they can't see. Their reaction when they realise they can't see it is priceless and it never gets boring.
I've got a MacBook Pro right now like a school computer, and when we got our macs in school they told us how good it is and so on, well I can just say Apple is Shit! for 1100 EUR you could get an amaziing Windows computer and I don't really see why you should buy a macbook instead of a Windows Computer, According to me the best choise is always a windows computer, BTW the mac gets fuc*ing hot just when I watch Youtube and sounds like an airplane when it's getting hot.Windows for life!
i am an Apple fanboy and think this windows 8 metro layer is stunning for a tablet. For a desktop with a mouse it doesnt have the same effect. I have a gaming PC and can see myself using the metro layer for game launching.

@maplemeadows well actually windows has been on tablets for over a decade. Apple has only been making tablets for less than 2 years. By your logic Apple copied Microsoft
@kahuna3901 Look at the device. It's very, very clearly influenced by Apple. It looks like an iPad, it works like an iPad (the swipe gestures and the pinching...), it's a desperate attempt to appeal to a market dominated by a competitor by making something almost identical at a cheaper price. It's not even very good as a device, not when you know how an iPad works.
This is typical Microsoft. Just like IE, why do they continue to keep riding a dead horse?
@SuperlativeSquared well the appearence of the device really has more to do with samsung rather than microsoft, if you had done your research then you would know this tablet costs over a £1000 pounds, so its not a cheaper soloution. this is pre beta software, you can't deduce how good a product is by pre-beta software, again if you did you research you would know this. last time i checked windows 7 was the fastest growing os of all time, stick to ipod apple.......
"I WANT TO BE AN IPAD" screamed the Samsung Windows device.
Honestly, what an utterly pointless creation. It's tragic that people are so anti-Apple that they'll celebrate a poorly knocked-off version of an iPad just because it comes without Apple branding.
@MapleMeadows Apple did what first? Make a tablet? No. Make a tablet OS first? No. Invent touch? No. Invent multitouch? No (but they like to think so!). Make a desktop OS that combines a mobile touch OS all into one? No. Apple are years behind compared to Win 8.
But when Apple do copy Microsoft with this idea, you can bet they pretend they did it first, and fanboys like you will believe them.
LOL - I can totally see the password you typed from where I stay :) Also, we'll see if Apple tries to file yet another patent lawsuit against Microsoft.
@etraderx11 why would apple sue microsoft.....this is completely different from anything apple has introduced and google should sue apple for taking their notification system in their IOS.......and this beats apple in any way....
@SALMANNNNNNN Because Apple doesn't want to play fair and they want to become a monopoly (although I doubt they have much of a chance now), but that's exactly why they've been suing the smaller guys first, like Samsung and HTC - just so they can creep their way closer to Google. That's exactly why Google had to buy Motorola patents, and even give some of them away to HTC to combat Apple. Microsoft can too get in a way and they can certainly try to sue them. Apple sucks!
Ok. Interesting in concept. Weak on UI / HW responsiveness front. (Yea, yea, ok, pre-beta, etc. got it...). Manic tie-ins between WinPh7 and Win7. Will likely confuse general consumers, i.e., not intuitive as "highly simplified " iPad, but actually more "coherent" than the Android Honeycomb "flexibility fest." Trying to be all-to-all, but NO significantly compelling reason to jump on board. Will likely attract some folks at some point. Maybe...
I hate crapple and I love windows for my lappy operating system
To be honest, this doesn't look attractive at all and it doesn't seem very appealing either, it's not cool and it doesn't have any wow features, nothing sets it apart. It's not interesting and it's a bit dull really.
Although, there are a lot of rooms for improvement, tons of rooms
Only plus is you can switch to normal windows 7 mode but whats the point in calling it windows 8?
The whole point is that MS is tying together Desktop, tablet, Windows phone 7 ... as a common interface/collaboration. They are also putting in their Hyper-V in order to give the user a selection on the desktop-side.
Only MS could tie it all together - thats what Apple and Google/Droid were afraid of.
for whatever reason the more i look at it the more i don't like it and think about staying on Windows 7. And I usually start running whatever OS Microsoft has asap. All that green, color tiles are just... meh, and no classic start menu...
Ugh. Even as a tablet OS it's horrible - both to look at and, from the video, to actually use. Worse, of course, is that they're going to force it onto the desktop as well. :/
You dont get it, it gives you a CHOICE of the relar desktop or the advantage of using a windows phone 7 interface. No one is going to force you to do anything Appleboy. And I'm calling you that because Appletards rarely listen or look ( they just put their head in the ground and stroke apple)
The amount of ignorance from these comments is amazing. I don't know if it's just that people can't accept change or if they are just not reading/processing the information right.
1. This is barely Beta. There will obliviously be lag . but it is still pretty fast.
2. You can do everything that you can do on a win7 pc. Everything is backwards compatible
3. You CAN switch to traditional view at the click of an app
I bet if Apple did this same thing , people would piss there pants in excitement
I am not too impressed. I mean, great for tablets but for desktops or laptops. Stay with windows 7 or some build of Linux. Did you all see how many attempts it took to zoom the page?? When it finally did work, its was too sensitive. Either way, I still cruise faster on my laptop with a mouse and keyboard then this guy on a windows 8 tab.
@r3p3ntiv3 This is barely a Beta . It will still be more then a year or so before it's released. There are also a whole ton of features that microsoft hasn't even touched on yet. Also you can switch to traditional win 7 interface at the click of a button and it isn't even slow. Also in a couple of years your laptop will be running this exact thing.
@ashwinbhat123 Having the address bar at the bottom probably makes more sense for touch interfaces, right? It feels so much easier to reach the address bar when your hands are at the bottom holding the tablet
This UI, although looks, sometime lags. Apple does it best.

Damn the Mac fanbois are pissed with this aren't they. Still bitter their tablet only does 40% of what a tablet is capable of.
Maybe Android should be worried after watching this demo. Time will tell.
BTW for fun when on the move tell your mates with ipads and iphones about a really great website and then laugh in their face when it has flash content they can't see. Their reaction when they realise they can't see it is priceless and it never gets boring.

I've got a MacBook Pro right now like a school computer, and when we got our macs in school they told us how good it is and so on, well I can just say Apple is Shit! for 1100 EUR you could get an amaziing Windows computer and I don't really see why you should buy a macbook instead of a Windows Computer, According to me the best choise is always a windows computer, BTW the mac gets fuc*ing hot just when I watch Youtube and sounds like an airplane when it's getting hot.Windows for life!

i am an Apple fanboy and think this windows 8 metro layer is stunning for a tablet. For a desktop with a mouse it doesnt have the same effect. I have a gaming PC and can see myself using the metro layer for game launching.

@maplemeadows well actually windows has been on tablets for over a decade. Apple has only been making tablets for less than 2 years. By your logic Apple copied Microsoft
kahuna3901 5 months ago
@kahuna3901 Look at the device. It's very, very clearly influenced by Apple. It looks like an iPad, it works like an iPad (the swipe gestures and the pinching...), it's a desperate attempt to appeal to a market dominated by a competitor by making something almost identical at a cheaper price. It's not even very good as a device, not when you know how an iPad works.
This is typical Microsoft. Just like IE, why do they continue to keep riding a dead horse?
Stick to making gaming consoles, MS.
SuperlativeSquared 5 months ago
@SuperlativeSquared well the appearence of the device really has more to do with samsung rather than microsoft, if you had done your research then you would know this tablet costs over a £1000 pounds, so its not a cheaper soloution. this is pre beta software, you can't deduce how good a product is by pre-beta software, again if you did you research you would know this. last time i checked windows 7 was the fastest growing os of all time, stick to ipod apple.......
kahuna3901 5 months ago
"I WANT TO BE AN IPAD" screamed the Samsung Windows device.
Honestly, what an utterly pointless creation. It's tragic that people are so anti-Apple that they'll celebrate a poorly knocked-off version of an iPad just because it comes without Apple branding.

@MapleMeadows Apple did what first? Make a tablet? No. Make a tablet OS first? No. Invent touch? No. Invent multitouch? No (but they like to think so!). Make a desktop OS that combines a mobile touch OS all into one? No. Apple are years behind compared to Win 8.
But when Apple do copy Microsoft with this idea, you can bet they pretend they did it first, and fanboys like you will believe them.

Your "IE10" seems to:
* Load a page after two taps * Zooms in after two pinches * Zooms out after two pinches
Thats what you get for not using a mouse, double click still exists but say hello to double pinch xD watch at 6:24

SALMANNNNNNN 5 months ago
@SALMANNNNNNN Because Apple doesn't want to play fair and they want to become a monopoly (although I doubt they have much of a chance now), but that's exactly why they've been suing the smaller guys first, like Samsung and HTC - just so they can creep their way closer to Google. That's exactly why Google had to buy Motorola patents, and even give some of them away to HTC to combat Apple. Microsoft can too get in a way and they can certainly try to sue them. Apple sucks!
etraderx11 5 months ago
Ok. Interesting in concept. Weak on UI / HW responsiveness front. (Yea, yea, ok, pre-beta, etc. got it...). Manic tie-ins between WinPh7 and Win7. Will likely confuse general consumers, i.e., not intuitive as "highly simplified " iPad, but actually more "coherent" than the Android Honeycomb "flexibility fest." Trying to be all-to-all, but NO significantly compelling reason to jump on board. Will likely attract some folks at some point. Maybe...

To be honest, this doesn't look attractive at all and it doesn't seem very appealing either, it's not cool and it doesn't have any wow features, nothing sets it apart. It's not interesting and it's a bit dull really.
Although, there are a lot of rooms for improvement, tons of rooms
Only plus is you can switch to normal windows 7 mode but whats the point in calling it windows 8?

WarehouseSalvage 5 months ago
The whole point is that MS is tying together Desktop, tablet, Windows phone 7 ... as a common interface/collaboration. They are also putting in their Hyper-V in order to give the user a selection on the desktop-side.
Only MS could tie it all together - thats what Apple and Google/Droid were afraid of.

Ugh. Even as a tablet OS it's horrible - both to look at and, from the video, to actually use. Worse, of course, is that they're going to force it onto the desktop as well. :/

You dont get it, it gives you a CHOICE of the relar desktop or the advantage of using a windows phone 7 interface. No one is going to force you to do anything Appleboy. And I'm calling you that because Appletards rarely listen or look ( they just put their head in the ground and stroke apple)

The amount of ignorance from these comments is amazing. I don't know if it's just that people can't accept change or if they are just not reading/processing the information right.
1. This is barely Beta. There will obliviously be lag . but it is still pretty fast.
2. You can do everything that you can do on a win7 pc. Everything is backwards compatible
3. You CAN switch to traditional view at the click of an app
I bet if Apple did this same thing , people would piss there pants in excitement

I am not too impressed. I mean, great for tablets but for desktops or laptops. Stay with windows 7 or some build of Linux. Did you all see how many attempts it took to zoom the page?? When it finally did work, its was too sensitive. Either way, I still cruise faster on my laptop with a mouse and keyboard then this guy on a windows 8 tab.
r3p3ntiv3 5 months ago
@r3p3ntiv3 This is barely a Beta . It will still be more then a year or so before it's released. There are also a whole ton of features that microsoft hasn't even touched on yet. Also you can switch to traditional win 7 interface at the click of a button and it isn't even slow. Also in a couple of years your laptop will be running this exact thing.
