Build Windows 8 Keynote Quick Hits

So after the initial Sinofsky, et al keynote what do we know and do we like it?

New info:

No release date yet, build quality not date driven.

Developer preview available for download tonight at 8:00 pm PT at dev.windows.com.

Quick thoughts:

.Net and Silverlight are now legacy technologies.

It really is the biggest change since Windows 95. Bigger if you consider the money at stake.

MS is putting consumer sales ahead of business sales.

It will take a long time for businesses to upgrade due to the learning curve. Businesses will need to budget for users learning a second interface since ERP apps will not be redone.

Microsoft is betting the farm on Windows 8.
