Could this be the new UI for Windows 8?

I do hope not.[^] Purely from the visual aspect, I find it too busy for my tired old eyes. Someone has to start these things off so, has Microsoft's bubble finally burst?

I'm quite sure the Bubbles are not a major part of the OS, but the gesture stuff with the phone is impressive for a household PC/Media server.

He hid the "pr0n balloon" - it covers most of the screen. That might win a prize for the stupidest thing since Vista.

If you have a smart-phone, they are but with the Kinnect having already been released I would have thought that any pointing device should be unnecessary.

Will give UI a whole new meaning Ugly Inerface And to collect customer feedback I hope they use Kinect cause I got a sign for em.

Ridiculous. I hope Apple buys them pretty soon to stop their insanity.

I prefer my text mode in Consolas 12pt Bold, at 160x300.

I doubt it could possibly be. The whole idea of using colour coding is a UI no-no; it could completely throw the whole colour blindness issue into disarray for users.
I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

Gawd, I hope not! Microsoft has completely lost touch with the computer-using public.

If Apple was the one to demo this as the new UI on the iPad3, we would never hear the end about how innovative and awesome it is, and how nobody else can ever do what Apple does. Or some other garbage. Is for this UI as W8? Give me a break. It's amazing what people will read into things. At best (worst?), aspects of this project will end up as an app that runs on W8, but there is no way this is the main W8 desktop. Microsoft Research is always pushing the envelope. It's their job. How many times have you looked at a concept car and thought... what the hell are they thinking? It's the same thing with Microsoft Research. W8 will look like W7 will look like Vista will look like XP will look like 2000 will look like 98 will look like 95 will look like 3.1. What will be different are subtle aspects of the UI and a slightly different chrome and probably a lot more tablet friendliness.

Thats the only sensible reply in the whole thread. Forget MS, I dont know where do these so called journalists/bloggers get their ideas from. Ex-Applites maybe..

I am constantly amazed at how willing people are to look at something and immediately discard it. As I read through the responses here, so many are negative. Is this a production UI? Absolutely not! But, are there some things in here that are worth exploring and moving ahead? Probably. Microsoft is consistently criticized for not coming out with innovative products, but then when they try something new all they hear is disdain. C'mon - give good feedback on both the things you like and the things you don't. I'd want the same.

Bravo! Take a small bow for organizing my "bubbly" thoughts about this whole thing. You have saved me hours and hours of spell checking! :laugh:

The point, or one of them anyway, of putting this up is so that people can comment on it in whatever way they think suitable. The fact that many of them were negative is evidence of not much more than that they were the only ones that considered it worth commenting on. If there were things about it that you liked then you should post those comments, rather than criticising the opinions of others.
