    I'll be glad to see new laptops become touch based as long as Win 8 doesn't come up with a crappy touch keyboard. Never tried the iPad but typing on an iPhone sucks massively. The buttons are way too small and the autocorrect is very annoying.

    I was actually surprised by the iPad's keyboard- when I owned one, I could type just about as fast as I could on a normal keyboard, and I used it to write most of my papers Sophomore year.

    I'm hoping it's coming soon (the beta/RC) of Win 8. If I cannot try it out, then I won't buy it. Win 7 had a long beta release, and it led to many positive reviews, which led to many sales.

    Hopefully, and my sources says so, there will be a beta/RC of Win 8 in September, possibly October. And I hope that it's 64 bit only, with a possibly 128 bit option in the future.

    RC in September? go on dream more, definitly not before Q1 2012 :p
    128bit? do you realize that 128bit is completly pointless today and probably in the next hundred years? for desktops anyway.

    Lol no he works ;) Let him have his own life, he just doesn't think about MDL & Windows 8 all the time :p

    EDIT : @tilcatilley1092 : beta branch will begin mid-september... (after the //build) So you won't see a public beta before end-november i think

    Fraggie, you will love this PCBeta post, basically the guy says his MS China buddy said would send him a pic of 810x BSOD to his phone, and it nearly killed him when he saw the pic. LOL :D

    We know that Windows 8 included a Webcam application. Could it be possible that this app support the Skype protokoll? as a replacement for the skype windows client?

    Something off-topic:

    The actual newspaper has a photo of Job's in wheelchair and intratubing on frontpage, but they didn't put that up on the web-page.
