Windows 8 or "Where's the plot?"
The BBC showed a screenshot of Windows 8 that's designed to run on tablet computers, as well as desktop and laptop PCs. The color scheme looks like something an inspired kindergartner may put together. What we have are blocks in primary and secondary colors dominated by green and puce.

If you get this operating system on a tablet, forget Flash and Youtube. They "reimagined" Adobe away.
Windows has been putting out crap sense Windows XP. Is it any wonder my new operating systems are a Mint and a Pup?
If I offended any Windows lovers I'm sorry, but I feel like I got hit with an ugly stick with a side of bloat.

You mean there will be no flash and youtube available on windows 8. I am little confused here.
I have seen this pic and some other pics too of its some feature and game. Truely speaking I can't say anything from this pictures. I would like to see and experience the new windows for sure. Hope it will not disappoint. I don't care much about its colors but hope it will not disappoint us in features section.

Windows is coming out with a tablet like Apple. Like Apple, Window's tablet won't have the Flash plugin. Some Windows 8 operating systems such as the desk tops will have the Flash but some won't. I just don't like these behemoths taking the choice from the user of the products if they want to watch a flash vid or not.

Wow. I would never won't a computer without "Flash". That program I use for many things. I think that is a unwise decision to take that out. They will lose customers for windows 8 if they don't add that.

Agreed. One thing I like so much about Linux is that the OWNER of the Desktop can decide to plug in or not plug in. You own, you don't licence the desktop, and can decide what bling you want.
