"Microsoft has officially unveiled some key new features of its forthcoming operating system. The next-generation OS, which may or may not be called Windows 8 (its internal code-name), delivers a completely re-imagined user interface, with a heavy emphasis on touch-based functionality that takes a hefty helping of inspiration from the Windows Phone UI.
One of the first major design changes from previous Windows versions is the completely overhauled Windows Start menu, which has been replaced with a colorful tiled design that evokes the Exposé screen of Firefox, or other similar quick-screen-navigation features found in most new web browsers. Rather than web pages, however, the new Start screen shows both static program icons and widgets, called live tiles, which provide constant notifications and updates. Windows 8 also allows users to access all the files on their computer in the same visualized way that programs are accessed, which helps make the OS easy to navigate with touch alone."

I gave up long ago - the computer I use is at least 5 or 6 years old and won't run windows 7. It does fine on the net, though, and that's about all I ask of it.
