Well, 40% of the people are waiting for Windows 8 tablets last I've heard.

They also have a new task manager.

Is it just me, or does the Start button keep taking you back to the metro interface. Where is "All Programs", My Documents, and all the wonderful familiar stuff?

It's all Metro now. I'm curous how they are going to make it usable for Desktops. That obsession is getting way overboard.
