If this is true, then MS is finished.

Instead of doing what they always do, they are reacting to iOS and clunkily trying to imitate them, leading to this epic disaster.

Their offices are not in Cupertino. A PC will never be a Mac or an iPad, and that is a good thing. Or, well, at least it used to be.

That's the metro UI, it is designed for tablets that will be running Windows 8.....

... and that's easily the worst demonstration of Windows 8 I've ever seen also. You should try the developer preview
