    i'm impressed....although most user gonna take some time to acquaint themselves with the touchsreen interface.

    out of curiosity though....would it b able to function on existing PC monitors or gonna require specific ones.

    Works fine in my Firefox, so seems like your firefox got video issues.

    You guys didn't watch the video? The MS guy said the demo was being shown for a touch screen, but it will be available for use with a mouse and keyboard.

    The guy in the video says its gonna run on Laptops, Desktops, Tablets etc. So i guess the non touch devices will get a similar version of Windows 8

    In a bid to speed up its efforts to get more tablets running Windows in the hands of consumers, Microsoft has reportedly demanded that hardware firms work with a single chip maker as they produce their gadgets.

    Typically, laptop and notebook makers take chipsets from different suppliers as they build up a product range.

    Firms expected to be producing chipsets for tablets include Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Nvidia, Intel and others.

    The news did not go down well with computer firms.

    "This industry doesn't belong to Microsoft or Google, it belongs to all the participants," said Jim Wang, president of Acer, at a Computex press conference. "So they can't make the decision for all of us. That's the problem."
    If that is the case, then "EPIC FAIL".
    The fox was probably right - they could have been sour grapes.
