That's the part that interests me and I've read the same thing about the GUI but I don't care about the GUI. I've used Macs and PC's since DOS. Just get me to my software program so I can work - make the GUI anything you like.
For me when I start up my main work machine. I need Chief Architect, my graphics program and my browser. That's it.
On my music machine I need even less.
I'm sure Win 8 will have an efficient enough method to get me to those programs so I can get my work done - beyond that I'm already over it. Other users are VERY dependent upon the OS to perform multiple tasks. Me, Not so much.
Again I'm pretty much an OS agnostic but if Win 8 does perform well, and all I've read about Win 8 is it's a faster more secure and an all round better OS - like Win 7 is over Vista - then Win 8 should fare pretty well in the market place. IMO.The purpose of Government is to control the common resources, not the common man.
