Windows 8 is going to change the way we interact with our computers. If you ever watched Minority Report, you will remember the way that Tom Cruise interacted with the platform. You won’t be wearing the glasses and interacting with holographic images with virtual reality gloves, but it offers just about everything else that’s practical today.
Windows 8 Start Page
Windows 8 brings touch to desktops in a big way. You will have your favourite apps on the main screen, tap a tile to run the app, slide across to a list of other all apps, bring up your screen that has all your photos and slide them around. Basically, it brings much of the cool functionality available on your smart phones to the desktop.
As far as development is concerned, people will need to start thinking about how to make their apps look really cool and conform with this environment. If your app looks clunky, someone else is going to create a new version with the new user interface style that will walk all over it.
