    From what I've read, the "Wind" UI will be the W8 version of the Vista/W7 "Aero" theme.... more info:

    Another VERY interesting post about Windows 8 over at Hexus can be found at this link. Apparently, W8 will "change the way people think about PCs". That's a pretty bold statement, no?

    There's always a good bit of speculation regarding what they are working on.

    I found the animated Aero desktop works well during the Holidays. I set it to a "Yule log in fire" background on the TV.

    :-D

    I would say that its very early to speculate on Windows.next (its not got a name at present, maybe called Windows 8 then maybe not) and its features, but then the tech press are all getting geared up for traffic and clickthroughs to their sites with speculative snippits of stories at best.

    The best one was a series of screenshots from Windows "8" that even Microsoft folk said wow, can we have a copy of that, all photoshopped of course, in the vain to get traffic for said www's.

    I was at Microsoft UK for the past few days and chatted with some of the folks from Redmond, and best thing to say is wait for the beta and then start talking about the next version of Windows, blog and tech news sites will sadly build Windows.next up to be something its not, with all the talk of 3D, Cloud etc then when released to beta, we will get the negative posts on forums and blogs to where is this "xxxxx" GUI or functionality.


    @Rikky try this HERE (not tried it yet myself, will do when I get a moment)
