Windows 8 is still ahead, but Microsoft released a first video showing the tiled interface… and it looks great. Influenced by the ideas they started in the Phone Series, the tiled manager looks very promising both to use on the desktop and on tablets. In the end it will all depend on the implementation details, the system requirements, and the number of bugs… One thing that I like about this interface is that it runs away from the 3D chromed interfaces that other OSes are using (iOS and Android come to mind). If microsoft doesn’t clutter this system with “stuff” I think they might have a successful product here.
