From what I've seen of Windows 8 sofar, I don't like it one bit. They are designing Windows 8 around touch. Everything can be tapped, swiped, docked, whatever. They are forgetting that their core market is still desktop PC's and that most users who have been using PC's for their entire life just want a regular desktop and not some fancy touch interface.
I might just hate change or getting old or something, but I havn't changed the layout of Windows ever since I started using it. Unlike most Windows 7 users I still have my quicklaunch menu next to my start button and every window has its own button in my taskbar, including its title. Just like it always has been since Windows 95. I hated the changed they did in Windows 7 and I hate the changes they are making in Windows 8. It's too bad they can't just keep the entire touch interface seperate, or at least not default.
I also think the entire square blocks touch interface looks horrible to begin with, but that's a matter of taste I suppose.
