yeah but they're not actually working on that to the best of my knowledge...all they have is the managed code thing which is barely functional, and their cloud os thing.

if the cloud thing doesn't pan out, they're kind of hosed

so I guess what I'm saying is that win8 will be just like win7 which was just like vista which was just like xp which is a collection of incremental improvements over it's predecessor instead of the revolutionary new functionality that MS said it would be the entire time it was in development.
