>>Wellll.....if you leave it setup the way it ships then oooh yes. Here are some screenshots:

>>Based on what I've seen this is really geared toward touch screens. Now there *is* a registry hack I discovered that puts it all back to the standard windows interface - which I would assume will be a feature at some point.

>>Anyway taking the plunge now - going to try to install VFP on it.

>>FYI - the machine I'm using to do all this is a reaaaly old HP TC1100 - hahaha - which does have touch screen but it requires the use of a stylus not finger - which kinda sucks - that & I haven't got the driver for it working yet...

>Re the registry hack, doesn't that beg the question of why install this version in the first place? I feel zero sense of urgency to install it.

I've been playing with W8 on my tablet pc for a while now and I must say that there is way more to W8 than meets the eye :) It's not just about the visuals (and it nice that you can switch back to "non-metro" mode although I didn't). There's a lot going on under the hood. The most impressive part to me is the speed at which W8 can boot and resume. We're talking seconds here. That alone to me is worth upgrading :)
