you use your Hotmail password to log in?
I'm sorry, but WTF?

Task mgr is different but nice and clean 

The network slidey thing is really random.  Why two completely different interfaces? 

ah, the start searc thing really isn't gone.  It is just :secret:  you start typing to get the serachfor files and such.  weird.  I don't like the fact that you have to hit "tab" to select what you want to run

at leat the windows+r thing is still there, so ar old favorite like mstsc, msconfig, etc.

soclailite?  what is this?  and why can't I get back to where I was by hitting "esc"  weird.

At least the scroll button on the mouse scrolls this weird app tile thingie.

I wonder if this is gonig to be MSFT Gadgets 2.0.   That was really an idea that didn't really take off.

change user tile.  ok.  Ah.  webcam is nicely supported.  
For heavens sake, MSFT< "tap on screen to take a picture"?

Also, let me bloody use the escape key to go back.

Computer button
GAH!  oh yeah. the ribbon.  hrm.  


IE->windows live photo gallery.  Hmm. click to install silverligt.  Interesting.  I guess IE really ISN'T going to have polugins anymore.  What does this mean for silverlight, I wonder?

Let's see what's installed by default.  Mahjong for my wife?  I suppose not.  Hrm.
Looking at Task Mgr, it's interesting that the "tile" apps are "suspended".  interesting.  

Alarms?  WTF?  On a desktop no less.  Will this be WP7 too?


I see alt-f4 doesn't work in these appy things

let's look at the "store"

oh.  sad day
<store>

well.  off to see how fast this thing boots.  I guess.  Or reboot and do something else.  I wonder if windows blows Linux away still?

or not.  how the F do I shut this bloody thing down!?

SERIOUSLY.  WHAT THE F?  
Oh, I remember that I was supposed to push the power button.  Gosh, MSFT< I know that you want people to think that you're hip, but geez.

Oh really.  It's "left corner, settings, power button?"  really?

About 70 seconds.  The swipe up to unlock thing was a little stupid.  ugh.  but tat was from bios.  let's count from actual control to windows bootloader.

Woah!  third time's the charm, I guess.  10 seconds.  from the "boot from drive" screen Again?

10 seconds again?  actually, 7 seconds to the pull-uppy thing.  wow.  I'm going back to vista to stab myself in my eye while I wait 10 years for it to boot.

gmail. hilarious.  they are using the same design dept.  square is back in.  now more roundy stuff, I guess.  Perfect.  I hate CSS for rounded corners.  Plus all of the magical roundy icons.
