Specifically, the new Windows 8 interface is a more tile-based interface that relies heavily upon HTML5 and JavaScript. Here's how Julie Larson-Green, Corporate Vice President, Windows Experience described it:
If you are a Windows developer, I'll bet you did: there was little to no mention of .NET technology in the Windows 8 hoopla, and quite a few Windows developers are more than a little angry about the whole thing.

Don't worry 'bout me, I'm fine and don't even care about the subject you posted, I was concerned 'bout you. After all, if we can't use tags correctly on a website where we communicate between ourselves how we suppose to make complex systems?

Yes, given how few people are using .NET, and how unsuccessful the platform as been in terms of people taking it up, a lack of .NET code in the core of Windows 8 obviously spells the death of the platform and unemployment for the handful of developers who made the mistake of ever using it.

Well - he mentioned it would still run your traditional apps. And all you really got to see was the pretty gui - which is obviously aimed at the tablet market - and reminds me of the previous attempt at allowing the screen to be web-based - that nobody used... HTML5 will be great for desktop Apps for MS - suddenly loads of developers can put apps on the PC without being MS centric. As SL runs in the browser it will presumably run on the Weight desktop if you want to use SL lets face it - if the marketing guys came out with "Windows 8 - just look at it - still runs all the same old stuff we've been doing for years" it's not going to do much for their share price It's glossy pretty colours people want to see - that's why the video showed videos and photos , with a brief glimpse of Excel and Word

I feel so old. We went through this whole thing with MFC. Then C++. Then Windows Forms. Then VB6. Then everything else that came after it. All those technologies are alive and well waaaaay after their use-by date. The inertia in businesses to change, and the sheer size of the installed base of these, and all the other technologies, means they won't be dead in a hurry. [Edit: I just need to rant a little more. Just because Microsoft doesn't mention .NET doesn't mean it's dead. They didn't mention C++ either, or MVC, or WCF, or Visual Studio. Nor did they mention installers, file compression or hedgehogs. Why does that mean they'll be nuked? And - and this is the big question - why are we getting hot and bothered by a Linux / mono guy spreading FUD??.

Also found that Debugging book you recommended years ago, though I can't think of the name to find a link, it to is pristine like the MFC Internals book.

Egads! I'm having enough trouble learning C# and SQL Server. Now I've got to learn to make hedgehogs work, too? Does MS Press have a book for that? Oh well, it will probably be easier than getting my front office staff to work. :sigh:

To be honest, this is complete bollocks. Unadulterated, uninformed crap. .NET is not being dropped. .NET is not being replaced. .NET is likely to form a more integral part of the OS based on a project that's nearing completion called Redhawk. Let me address another thing here which some people just don't seem to understand. The Metro UI is not the only interface you can use for Windows 8. The Aero interface is still going to be available but, as it doesn't work that well for tablets and other none-mouse oriented devices, Metro will be available to use - which is suited to touch devices. I talk about this here[^].
