Windows 8: Another Opinion

"It may look like Windows Phone 7, but Windows 8 is a full-blown desktop operating system. Yes, Microsoft is trying to have it both ways with its next-gen OS, which is expected to launch sometime in 2012. Although it has a whole new touch-friendly interface and will run shiny new full-screen apps, Windows 8 will also be compatible with all the desktop programs PC users like to run. Time will tell if Microsoft is biting off more than it can chew with this strategy, but right now I'm more interested in what the company just previewed. Here's what I think Windows 8 does well and where it needs improvement."

There certainly has been lots of commentary on the previews we have seen on Windows 8. Over at the LAPTOP website Mark Spoonauer has written an article detailing his likes (live tiles, for example) and dislikes (hidden Start button, for one). Personally, I like what I have seen so far, and I think Mark's "dislikes" are pretty fair. Hit the Read link and read his critique.
