Default Windows 8

Did anyone download the consumer preview of Windows 8? What do you think about it?

If you mean that video clip, I watched it too.
http://windows.microsoft.com/fi-FI/w...nsumer-preview

must say that I don't like this more modern way. If the system will be like this, it's going more and more automatic system. I just like to do things manually, install programs where I want, save files to own places etc. Now it seems Windows have own system, just folders and files, and everything have that new graphic too.

Well, for me it was real attack when Windows left DOS out from systems..

Default automatic system, kill switch

The very anticipated operating system Windows 8 will have a feature that was never found on PC’s before: A kill switch that can remotely delete software and edit code without the user’s permission. Although Microsoft claims the switch would only be used for software that is downloaded from its app store, no official policies clearly define the actual purpose of the kill switch. In other words, nothing is truly considered “illegal” and that includes issues regarding spying, censorship and free speech. Although the kill switch is promoted as a “tool against malware” it can potentially accomplish much, much more. In fact, it would not be impossible to have all smart-phones and Windows PC’s simultaneously shut down at any given time. The following article from Business Week also mentions the infamous case of Amazon that remotely deleted from user’s Kindle e-readers illegal copies of two books. Which ones? Prepare for intense irony…George Orwell’s 1984 and Animal Farm.

Windows has been working on something much bigger since early 2000.. like around 2004... with multi touch displays... well before tablets and touch-screen smart phones...

We are getting closer now to the affordability for the projects that Microsoft has been secretly developing for years....
