OK, I know what I did wrong, fixed it, and now I have Windows 8 beta running
Hideous start
I think businesses will bypass this 'repackaged' Windows 7
After setup and restart, this will be your startup screen
To log in, you have to hold-click the screen, and move upward to log in. It is so obvious that this is a touchscreen-centric system.
After login, you will see this:
Slide sideways for more selections. Click a category... like "All Apps"
Slid the screen, and clicked on "Windows Explorer". A familiar screen came up....
Menus continue to bloat....
Here is your Windows 8
This is good news for Apple and LINUX.

I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
[CTRL][ALT][DEL] opens a new windows with more options, and the Shutdown selection. Did not find a way to do so with mouse click.
This OS may be fine for Tablets, but will suck badly for Office/Desktop use.
I downloaded it and have yet to commence experimentation.....Looking at your's, I'm not sure I want to.

Looks like they tried copying Ubuntu's NBR.
Just out of curiosity, when was the last time Microsoft came up with anything original, especially anything pertaining to Windows? Seems to me like almost everything they've done since XP has been derivative or playing catch-up with Apple. Even the name Windows XP was a nod to OS X.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Windows Vista and 7's interface is pretty slick. Nothing like Mac OS (Except maybe transparency, but they both ganked that from Gnome and KDE)...
OS X has been using transparency since at least 2001, I don't believe Gnome or KDE implemented it that long ago. But, even if Apple did copy it, I wish they hadn't. It just consumes GPU cycles without really adding anything useful.
