    Ha ha it looks like there won't be any so called "Immersive UI" on Windows 8. Only the Start Screen will replace the Start Menu. Aero will be there just like Windows 7, and there won't be any Metro UI.

    1. How is this even full screen, there's no border when maximizing an explorer window. It just looks different as it's a changed explorer.

    2. Windows 8 will have full screen in the term of Immersive Apps (AKA No Superbar etc).

    3. Syncing could be the same as built into Windows7 . Theres a green icon and I know I saw that in Windows 7.

    4. Yeah the folder up icon has changed from what we saw in earlier builds.

    I think the border could be necessary in order to detect movements related to the immersive UI (for example when switching apps)
    But except for touch 1px would be enough...

    for 1., you have to connect the whole Picture, do you see the seemless integration from your "taskbar" to your border?
    2. ? completly unrelated
    3. Last time i checked Sync Center doesnt use SkyDrive and is for you local network, and LiveMesh has not explorer integration in 7.
    4. nothing new, i just thought i highlight and name it, cause i saw ppl really confused with that button (lol upload to cloud and other random stuff)

    They would need 0px, as they plan on having the "Border" a few pixels on your Slate to have touch too, not just the Display.

    Overall it looks really weird, it could be just a a Side and bottom borderless Frame, but there is no difference in the Border and the taskbar, so not sure what this really is.
    Picture has a low quality :p
