I hope there will be more news to it than just setting up tiles and additional swipe features... everything else has already been commented on neowin... I hope decor doesnt have to be upgraded again for this

And now starts another whole range of whining about this and that missing; don't work; is plain stupid, etc, etc, etc.

Apparently, the video isn't the only thing leaked... seems Windows Blue has been as well... link

It is no good, however, to x64 users as the x86 version is the only one leaked.

Still, it would not be worth the risk!  Apart from it being an illegal copy, it seems the build is incomplete and requires more work before it becomes stable.

I knew somebody would have to say it... not that it'll change anything. 

Windows is heading in a new direction, and that's a fact PC users will have to get used to.

Me, I like it so I'm more than half way there.

we can see their new direction, doesn't mean we have to bend over and take it ...

One has to wonder how the uptake of the new OS is going....

....swimmingly, I'm sure....

Once again, Yuk!

uh....yeah.

What, bend over for Tim Cook an Apple instead?

Again, the press and other so-called experts performed a hatchet job on it, just like they did with Vista... then the human race of sheep avoids it because the 'experts' have thus spoken.

Frankly, though, I don't give a flying **** who likes Win 8 or not.  I do and that's all that matters to me

Well starkers not all of us are sheep as you like to point out.  I'm certainly not. 

I have read threads from both sides of the fence and have made my decision to pretty much wait until Stardock releases the new version of ObjectDesktop.  What that means is updating of the included programs and final additions and or deletions of programs.

I am happy for you that you like Win 8 and it works for you and what you use a computer for.  It would be rather silly using it if it didn't. 

Gee, I wonder if Microsoft has realized yet that Windows 8 is a complete failure?

I was, of course, speaking in general terms and not about anyone in particular.  There are people who don't like Win 8 and they have legitimate reasons after trying it and finding it's not right for them.  Then there are others who heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend that Win 8 just messes you around.  It is these people I refer to as sheep, many never having seen it close up, much less tried it, yet they still bag it out... and it is these people who piss me off.

People like you, who are waiting for updates and 3rd party offerings to make Win 8 more user friendly [to them] do not fall into the category and aren't mindless sheep, however.  You are at least saying that you're willing to give it a chance when the circumstances are right for you, and that's the opposite of being sheep-like IMO.

And just what is wrong with sheep?

I happen to like sheep! Some of my best friends are sheep!!
