#2I like the pane-based user interface. I welcome any alternative to the desktop metaphor.

#3I really think the big thing is the idea of running apps side by side. Otherwise, I don't think apple is necessarily as far behind as this article makes it seem.

ya, but unlike 20 years ago, I feel like the world will not be as divided in mac vs windows world. But I agree, I think we're seeing a cycle of events here

#7>Microsoft plans on offering one version of Windows 8 across all platforms. This is a wise decision since consumers will no longer have to decide what version (Home, Professional, Tablet) they will need for their needs.
That's wrong, the SKUs will be revealed closer to launch. What MS meant was that all the different form factors including ARM will run the full Windows OS.
There will still be Home/Professional etc. etc.

#8Apple said they plan to merge iOS and OSX, but looks like MS beat them to it. Plugging my tablet to an external monitor, mouse and keyboard; that's the killer feature for me. I can have my cake and eat it too.

It is way too early to proclaim that history is repeating itself. 20 years ago Apple were a rudderless ship. Today they are on of the most efficiently operating computer companies out there. They have a vision, they have a solid foundation on which to build, and they have the resources to execute rapidly on that vision.

This is what I hoped the iPad would do (run multiple iPhone apps concurrently at 1x and allow inter-app drags).
However, the complexities of this are boggling and will make a nightmarish (or nonexistent) security model. It would trully be OLE, take 2 if it worked at all.
This is a year out. When Android 3.0 was previewed 6 months before release, I was amazed. Then I realized how buggy and rushed it was.
Apple sets a very high bar for quality. It will be interesting to see if either Google or Microsoft can compete.
