I was looking at pics of old online services when I saw something from AOL 3.0 that reminded of Windows 8. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I really hope MS supports Windows 7 for as long as it's supported XP.
What's sad is that the AOL version is actually more creative in some ways
What's sad is your trolling abilities.
What Microsoft is trying to achieve is to make it VERY simple, they argue that classic windows interface is complicated and difficult to work with. For basic people to use. I don't believe metro or windows 8 will offer anything to any more advanced user and especially users of desktop computers.Please enlighten me, how is that trolling? They obviously put some creative thought into the design they used and it seems pretty advanced for the level of graphical technology available in 1996.
I'm sorry, but the Windows 8 tiles are really not pushing the envelope here in terms of 21st century graphical creativity.

They just recently announced that they will support 7 for 10 years.
I'm running Win8 Preview as VM under Linux, I found a simple registry hack to disable the mickey mouse menu and get a regular desktop /w Start menu. Just google.
Thats for the developer preview, not the customer one. They removed that option because having less options and less customability is a good thing...

They've been mum on the subject, but the landscape of DirectX as a whole is changing significantly. You won't be able to grab the SDK separately from the Windows SDK, which may very well mean no more DirectX updates of any kind for Windows 7.I wonder if that includes the latest versions of Direct X....

We'll see what happens, but their silence is not reassuring.
