    It would be awesome to remain Windows Developer Preview as final name :D

    And serious: Something like Windows Next / Windows Future seems nice :)

    PS: We too have Metro store in our country

    Form myself, are just, in order, Windows Vista, Vista Second Edition and Vista Third Edition. They add just features to put smoke inside the customers' eyes :D

    The differences are essentially four
    1. Peripherals are integrated in a smoother manner
    2. Improved UAC
    3. Brand new taskbar
    4. Super fast performance (the major improvement upon Vista)
    But I think we are going OT...

    Steven Sinofsky said in the Keynote Windows 8, so it will be called Windows 8.

    It is too obvious what this attempt should be called ............... Full Screen 1 ................ How can you call the lame attempt to shove metro down users throat without a built in way to disable it anything else. Sad day for all IBM. What is really scary is that windows 8 NT may never be built. Hey are you all enjoying multi-tasking in the metro environment, cutting and alt-tabbing. I ready like the right side slide out bar on my 30 in monitor, very convenient. Multi selecting icons ... all so cool! If they continue to go this way you will definitely see Linux become the business choose, hey but they will be stealing off apple again with their windows store, this is exactly what every user in a corporate environment needs! First the mouse and now they steal their OS for iphones. To think none have 6 TB to manage is lame, to think we all care to use a 1 task tablet is naive.

    Rant over.:D

    You might be right for gamers at this very beginning but in total, it is not so bad as some say (like Gamedev ... lol)
