Any scuttlebutt on Windows 8?

Its still early. Windows 8 is unlikely to debut until 2011. Well, anyone else hearing any scuttlebutt yet on Windows 8? What are you hoping gets included in the next Windows client and server releases?

Windows 7 isn't even out yet, and they're already talking about Windows 8 coming out in less than two years? WTF?

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean anything negative against you for posting about it.

But on topic, though, I'd like Microsoft to not steal stuff from Apple, especially the shittier parts of Mac OSes. I really hate the Mac toolbar and don't want to see anything like that in Windows. I also don't want my OS keeping track of what I'm doing and giving me search suggestions. It's too Big Brother-ish, and I don't want other people using my computer getting an inkling of what I'm doing.

Windows 8... sigh.

What's up with everyone and this 'everything must be touch phase'?

Horrible. I am definitely not a big fan of this touch screen phase.

Yep the GUI is artificial, like most movies but I get dibs on the one from CSI Miami.
