Here's a great presentation of Windows 8 that shows you some of the stuff you can expect from Microsofts new operating system.
I think they're beginning to feel the squeeze. Apple (and Android) taking over their old consumers, Google taking their business clients. In my view, Google is their biggest threat as businesses account for most of their money. With Google Apps, companies can dispend with a lot of crap like office, exchange, servers and application management etc.My guess is that that's a result of the confidence their monopoly encourages in combination with the necessity of experimentation. Therefore I would not be surprised if they end up making a horrible mess in win8 and they do seem to be particularly confused.
