>Yes, that's what I was alluding too. When I started my first reply in this thread, I had meant to to say, "wait for BUILD", but by the time I clicked Send, I forgot to add it.

>I have no doubt that the ARSTechnica article about a new Win32 API is correct on that point. I base this on things posted MJF and others have written.. I have no inside knowledge. What I do have problems with is that same ARSTechnica article alluding to things not said in the WIn8 demo as fact.
My thinking is that it would have been better for Microsoft to have announced the Win8 user/UI story at the same time as the developer story. I think that even if the developer story ends up being good at Build, many are questioning the decision of making loyal developers wait and wonder, and the public discussion and articles that result in that ambiguity. It's a kind of fear of the unknown, and that cliche "The idle brain is the devil's playground." I do feel bad for the Microsoft marketing/evangelist/community folks who have to deal with the backlash in anticipation of the Build conference.
Here is a new article today that is somewhat of a good complimentary article to the one originally posted in this thread.
