somebody got paid WAY too much to design this

i agree, that actually looks alright. I think they just want it to be something surprising and different, seeing as microsoft's always perceived as being boring and outdated. It makes sense that they're try to change it up a lot.

enjoy your fully-featured desktop operating systems while you can, soon your choices will be between Windows Phone Desktop and iOS for Mac ((with the ability to have 200 apps on your launch screen instead of 16))
