I hope it's ARM, I want to run a full operating system on a Tegra 2 chipset

I find it ugly. And since beauty is in the eye of the beholder, nobody can say otherwise about my opinion.

 

[reggieray]

Second that, bland and boring too.

joytech: There is MeeGo and there is Linux you you want a full OS.

 

[stingstang]

Uh oh. I see rounded corners! They'd better be careful not to let Apple see that!

A bunch of squares is what the marketing department managed to come up with?

Or even a Tegra 3 or 4 since Asus seems to be having a T3 tablet coming out this year! Probably be a much better experience than today's Win7 Atom combo.

It's probably something from Minecraft

It's called 'easy'. Grandma and Grandpapa out there want easy to use and thats the way it is away from a narrow point of view

Nothing you are seeing now will be (LOOK) the same when released. They are basically only placeholders. The final look and feel won't be revealed until MUCH MUCH closer to RTM. half of the interest in the OS will be in the UI which will be continually tweaked until they need to lock it down for RTM. Most of the work being done now is in the OS structure(internals). So it's worthless to comment on the look and feel (UI) at this point. It's like complaining about any distro of Linux without KDA or Gnome, etc., UI added.

Think some of you have missed the boat- it is not for x64, ARM, or X86, it is a store with listings that each can be for different platforms. the store its self is for the web browser on the device. the part about the platform is that each application will list its requirements, including platform and other prequisites..

just think if they had made it shinny. then apple would really let them have it.

 

[opmopadop]

I thought Microsoft will stop x86 support?!?!

32-bit is out.

64-bit and ARM are the new black!

 

[fir_ser]

This logo is dull and lifeless, I hope they would change it in the final version.

 

[okibrian]

That's it!? That's the best they could do??

[citation][nom]philipjacobs[/nom]It's probably something from Minecraft[/citation]^^This.

That was my first impression EXACTLY.

 

[eddieroolz]

I like that logo.
