Wait, has Microsoft even acknowledged that this is in development? It looks kind of cool, even though it looks almost exactly like XP. Looks like it's too user friendly, to me.

Still a long time in development to go.. maybe even as long as 1.5 - 2 years (record for MS almost).

OK I've never heard of this but from a glance I see it looks like a new operating system from M$.

By the looks of things it looks like you will again need a meaty computer as they expect the operating system to do more and more for you.

I still stand by my belief that it defeats the object of an operating system when it uses more resources itself than the programs its used to launch.

MacOS anybody? Now theres an operating system.
