OT: I did not even have a look into the customer preview... no glue what's going to come. I just watched funny videos on YouTube from elderly people how got really angry on it because they could not find the "Start" button. That was really funny... ;D

Are you saying I'm elderly?

Seriously though, I wonder where user interfaces are going (Windows 8 is only following and "perfectionizing" the path of stupefied tablet interfaces crammed onto desktop machines that Unity and later Gnome 3 started). The mere fact that colorful buttons for Facebook and Twitter along with a direct link to XBox shop are the most revolutionary feature of the next OS generation lets you seriously doubt the intelligence and sanity of the developers.
Or, who knows, maybe the vast majority of computer users is really as dumb as that. I'd like to say "time will show" but time will only show that people will buy Windows 8 anyway, if for no other reason because it will be bundled with every new PC. :-\

I am using my own interfaces with Windows since ages anyways (never used "Explorer" for example), so as long as stability improves and I can have a "fancy icon" for my 3rd party software I am fine.

ouch:
The problem I have with the new windows 8 tiles is that I get "Brady Bunch" flashbacks...
