Hmm, this is the first I've heard of it. Looking at the wikipedia page and 
winsupersite article, I can imagine it being either very good or irritating 
and patronizing. Hard to say. But after seeing the Win8 UI videos (and after 
using both Vista and Win7) I find it very difficult to get excited about 
anything in Win8.

Ouch, I just saw this bit at the end of Paul Thurrott's winsupersite 
article:

"Virtually all of the Microsoft WinRT apps--Mail, Calendar, People, Chat, 
and so on--are all written in HTML and JavaScript"

Apparently all the grown-ups have left Microsoft. Fuck that shit. I'm not 
touching Win8 with the proverbial ten foot poll.
