i just went back to 7 after upgrading my pc. this does not excite me in the slightest. yes i know its just the kernal, but still. win 8 left a bad taste.

You don't like the GUI, ok. But it has nothing to do with the kernel.

I know, i still have doubts about it anyways. and with M$ trying to be like apple, we will see. You dont think that between thier phones, tablets and computers that the next xbox would be different? I hope so.

I think they will use a modified win8-kernel and the WinRT-framework which is also used for Windows 8 and Windows 8 RT. There is nothing to doubt to me - the gui has to prove itself, yes, but the system itself will be sleak and optimized as hell and still deliver compatibility due to WinRT (my guess).
