Washing Windows

Okay, so this is a little off topic. I apologize. I have just watched some of the keynote for Windows 8, and having been a Mac guy for basically my entire life, I am shocked to say that I am really excited about the direction Microsoft is going with their operating system(s).

I love how Windows 8 is just like Windows Phone 7. I love how they are taking the concept of navigating a computer and turning it on its head. I love that they are innovating. They are totally late to the mobile platform race, but in my opinion they have the most refreshing and interesting offering. I find it fascinating that they are blending their desktop OS so completely with what you find on their phones. Apple is doing the same thing, but frankly I don't look forward to my laptop looking like an iPad looking like an iPhone.



That is so interesting and full of potential for interesting ways to deliver information.



Incredibly vibrant and ridiculously intuitive. But so busy and kinda ugly!

I can't believe that Microsoft is creating something artful, elegant and more desirable than what Apple is stuck with. Weird right? I can't wait to see this stuff on store shelves.
