Amazing.

1. Saturday nights on DU are hell. Windows 8 brought Dante's Inferno to mind. Wikipedia:

Eighth Circle (Fraud)

The last two circles of Hell punish sins that involve conscious fraud or treachery.

IMO, most appropriate.

2. I don't know. I kind of like it.

Simple and to the point. It's back to 1.0 for the logo.

3. It looks like upper left the corner of Greek flag..

with Greece having such serious austerity,bill must have bought their flag but just the corner..real creative ugh.

[undergroundpanther]

4. wonder if windows 8 will

work like greece...

5. Is it an animated Ames window ?

That would be appropriate, since an Ames window can pretty well drive you crazy ...

6. Leave Microsoft alone!

How fucking dare anyone out there make fun of Microsoft, after all they've been through?!

"They wanted a fresh start and now they have it. This is the most radical change maybe in their entire history as a company."

Yes, that is an actual quote - not from The Onion.

8. "straight, unfamiliar and most of all boring"

I guess the 'new start' must be the 'unfamiliar' bit.

7. Duh, they can't even count. I only see four windows there.

[Rob H.]

9. Someone on another forum commented

"Well, it has four Blue Screens of Death. Their OS is pretty well represented."

Microsoft probably didn't think of that.

10. Ah... it's... simply... uh... rather... that is... yes, dear, it's lovely.

12. Wouldn't it make more sense..

...if the designer had used French Door style windows, ie: 8 windows in the mark?
