like sitting in front of an intelligent tv and choosing titles on netflix simply by shrugging and meh'ing...
- Isn't that how you pick a title in Netflix anyway? It's all pretty much crap.ETM

I think MS may actually be looking at the bigger picture for consumer driven roles and devices. Mouse driven, will be passable in Metro, but Kinnect assisted will be interesting. I am sure it won't be long before Kinnect is the size of modern webcams and is integrated into monitors and all-in-one computer models. I am sure gestures will become as subtle as on a touch screen device. Rather than large swiping gestures in front of your body, I am sure you could sit and just use a small swipe or flick of your finger. Tracking your eye wouldn't be too hard either as a supplementary input method.

This just points out how much Windows DIDN'T change until Vista/7.

What's your guys take on the win8 metro ui? I kinda like it, and I'm actually a little stoked to create a native app for my service. Seems cool that they support html/js apps built in. Great for web devs.

Read this last night. Interesting spin from Microsoft on the history of their OS, and a few explanations about design decisions that went into this release.
What say you, QBN?
