Microsoft: Metro Not Just an Interface, It’s a Philosophy
“Long-time Microsoft watchers like me are marveling at the company’s transformation. Slowly but surely, the siloed behemoth that once couldn’t get its desktop and mobile operating system teams to talk to each other is now starting to glide forward as one vast entity. The most visible refection of this sea change: design.”

One year ago this week, Xbox 360 set out to change the way we interact with games and entertainment with the launch of Kinect for Xbox 360. Sales immediately soared with more than 10 million Kinect sensors sold, setting the Guinness World Record as the fastest-selling consumer electronics device in 60 days along the way. But people were inspired not just to play; but also to discover, innovate and create. We call this “The Kinect Effect.”
Is it just me, or did this video look a lot like the Apple iPad: Year One video?

Metro is beautiful. I’ll say it a thousand times in this piece no doubt, but it is. What it isn’t is an iOS pretender. Microsoft have actually crafted a mobile operating from the outset that shares few similarities with its peers. In one release, they’ve made Android look like some tacky fifty-quid knockoff imitation of iOS you see on blogs. But what’s really amazing is that not only is Metro as good as iOS in almost every respect, but in some ways it’s far, far ahead.

In a Forbes interview with Microsoft’s Craig Mundie, Chief Research and Strategy Officer, he contended that comparing Siri on the iPhone 4S and Tellme on Windows Phones are much alike. Craig says,
At least from a technological capability you could argue Microsoft has had a similar capability in Windows Phone for more than a year… All that is already there, fully functionality for years.
Seriously? The video above seem to suggest otherwise.

I’m not going to mince words. This is fucking awesome.
1) What a great time capsule… Windows 95!
2) It shows that Steve Jobs could be a dick. If you’re a genius, you’re allowed. Them’s the rules.
3) The host of this program should be beaten with an electrical cord and burned with an old-school car cigarette lighter.

Today, at the D9 Conference, Microsoft demonstrated the next generation of Windows, internally code-named “Windows 8,” for the first time.
A tile-based Start screen, which replaces the Windows Start menu with a customizable, scalable full-screen view of apps, is one of the innovative new elements that make up Windows 8’s new UI, clearly drawn from the same inspiration as Windows Phone 7’s Metro UI.
