    Its an interesting GUI and one I like as I have a Windows Mobile 7 Phone on a HTC HD7 and the "tiles" are a great feature, I guess W8 is going to have two GUIs in that it will have a front end as in the "tiles" for ease of use and the more normal GUI as in the Start Menu for power users so to speak.

    The tile GUI is like Zune and that interface is WOW superb and knocks spots off iTunes for me, so having media and general interface controlled that way is a good option, do we all have touch screens to take advantage of this GUI, well no but don't forget tech moves forward and we may do in 2yrs + time have touch screens as normal.

    I'm looking forward to seeing integration with Kinect and Windows.

    From what I see I like so far, but its early days and things change ;)
