It's still a Tablet UI, just because you can use it on your PC just as well doesnt say anything about that this UI.. it's exactly made for Tablets... without Tablets we wouldn't see such a 'weird' Interface on a Desktop (it has higly limited real multitasking, real multiple windows at the same time, not 1/6 Frame on the side)
The BUILD Conference is a few miles from me, but its a bit expensive. I've been to other Conferences there & received the free lunch, drinks, Win7, etc software too. My last one didn't cost so much + my company paid for it.
Not only sold out, but oversold! They sent me a cancellation e-mail this morning even though I had already received my registration confirmation e-mail and number over the weekend. Perhaps a computer glitch by the biggest computer company in the world...wonder if the registration system is running on Windows 8???
Just a question: with that news about the cancelation of the pre conference sessions, does it means something? No Win 8 on build?
