Windows 8

I loaded it on to my HP Slate 500 - it's looking pretty good. Seems that Redmond has found a way to transition a real OS onto the fast-becoming ubiquitous capacitive touch-screened tablets. --you know, where the only pointing device is a fat finger.

Really cool picture passcode; nice clean graphics; fast, less memory needs..

The on-screen keyboards are sharp, with nice feedback, but the split-keys and TIP take up too much real estate.

Clearly they are a ways from releasing the final product, but this is looking good, IMO.

Anyone else trying out the Developers Preview?
