Meh, here in Durban we have lots of Indians so it's nothing new for me. I am kinda surprised at how expansive your vocabulary is though and how well you pronounce the words.

Also for some odd reason I was expecting the pitch of your voice to be a fair bit lower.

Thanks schumi, this video is a bit old, I can pronounce words better and my accent has also changed.

I was trying to hold it from the sides and my hands were shaking from the cold temperature of the server room.

Hmm... "release preview".

Or in other words, it's MS' way of saying "**** you! We do it our way!" to all of the hardcore Windows fans complaining about lack of window button, Metro UI, etc...

Nice attitude.

I'd say I'll wait for Win9 but somehow I think things will be even worse there.

Checked 8.
Let's just say Microsoft will have to pry earlier Windows discs from my dead cold hands. With a crowbar.

I can see it as a natural upgrade for touch-enabled mobile devices running windows Phone 7, hardly decent for desktops. The normal desktop better be the default, heck even with a oneoff choice during installation or after (like to offer users to check out Metro for a while or sticking with it).

I used to live in a country south of China a while ago. I'm sure you'll be able to understand what comes out of my mouth... if I decide to open it up.

Looks to me like Microsoft plans to move to touch-enabled interface as default for desktops as well.

Or something that magically makes Metro more useful with keyboard and mouse.
