Why am I waiting for Windows 8?

I guess it's only natural for anyone to think like, "buy a new computer to test drive a new windows? really?"

Yes. That's what I did.

Well, that and something else.

Here are some videos I saw.
This one shows how fast Win8 boots.

Impressive, huh?

Another interesting feature is its Metro UI (user interface).

Interesting. But, should I get a touchscreen monitor to play with that feature?
Not quite.

This video shows what can happen.

And, even more.

Recently MS released Kinect for Windows, and people don't have to hack Xbox360 Kinect. This will open many new doors to anyone's wild imagination.

In other words, I can surf the web without mouse or keyboard. Nice~
The idea of having one OS for all - PC, tablet, and phone - plus a new input device concept is revolutionary.
Years from now we may buy new computers without keyboard or mouse. Just Kinect.

Anyhow, I bought a new computer because of these things. Will I be able to play with Kinect before Summer? I'll try to make it happen.


By the way, I still haven't explained how to install Windows from USB without DVD-drive.
My current Windows (Windows Developer Preview) will expire soon, and MS will release consumer preview (a.k.a. beta) on 2/29. I'll write how to do it in detail once I get that copy.
