Awe fuck. The new XBOX dashboard is taking over our computers. The sure the fuck hope that is a tablet only type of interface.

Sadly, that is what Windows 8 is going to be like. You can still get to the classic desktop though.

From my understanding you can put it into a 'traditional' desktop and turn that tile shit off. It looks cool for tablets but that's not gonna fly in an office environment.

Tank, I have to figure that part out. Right now it is a pain to work with on a desktop. Shutting the computer down is a lot of steps! But then this is a dev preview - not the final product.

I am definitely getting a windows tablet once 8 comes out though. I see a lot more use out of a windows tablet than iPad or Android. I will be making a Metro jukebox software. A tablet would be perfect for my jukebox project.
