Windows 8 :|

[Scot]

Hopefully he doesn't talk about W8 for too long.

[VistaPOWA]

Windows 8 sure looks amazing on a huge-ass screen.

[Hoob]

Yes he's talking about how windows is used in over 1 billion PCs.

Mind control announcement is seeming much more likely.

[jordguitar]

"Today we want to add another piece to that Windows 8 story."

'Video time... all about hardware. Guess what — they're definitely doing hardware'

At least he's not going to just ramble on about 8 to fill a multiple hour long announcement.

[redBadger]

"We expect Windows 8 to have a 30 year life cycle"

[VistaPOWA]

"We control it all, we design it all, we manufacture it all ourselves."

I, for one, rebel against our new overlords.

[install gentoo]

[flagdog]

"We believe that any intersection between human and machine can be made better when hardware and software are considered together."
