Windows 8 Consumer Preview

It's Windows reimagined and reinvented from a solid core of Windows 7 speed and reliability. It's an all-new touch interface. It's a new Windows for new devices. And it's your chance to be one of the first to try it out.

I tried it out on a VM but I don't really care much for the Metro UI.

I would probably install it for real and buy retail had it got the option to retain the Windows 7 start Orb and an option to disable the Metro UI.

From what I can see though it looks like MS are heading towards forcing this UI change to all Win8 customers, So I'll probably stick with W7 until they add an option to turn Metro On/Off and give an option for customers to toggle W7 start menu on / off.
