Wow, really? Which parts, exactly?
I'm genuinely curious, as someone who's been a Windows user for basically his entire computing life.

#5Although I am not a Windows developer, if I were, I would appreciate some more information as to what to expect when developing applications on W8. So far, I've only heard HTML+JS, which is great, but hopefully more information on developing for W8 will make its way soon.

#6Seems like an awful lot of words to say
(a) computing has changed much in the last 15 years [you don't say!], and
(b) we're going to start talking about changes early so the market isn't surprised or apprehensive.
Not much meat in there.

#7From what I've mostly seen and read else where, it really looks like Windows 8 is going to a cross between Windows 7 and webOS.

I'm guessing Metro UI caught his attention, and I must admit - I also find it quite interesting and for lack of better word - beautiful.

I believe this to be a misunderstanding of the press out for W8. They are simply promoting the fact that you can now have HTML+JS+CSS as first-class apps. They don't seem to be deprecating support for native or .NET based development.

Well, as someone who only uses Windows when he has to, I'd say IE10 being the default browser is pretty exciting. Win7 ships with IE8 so people may or may not upgrade. With IE10, it's "HTML5" in full force.
